Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.

Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?

When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

Welcome every experience the looms of fate may weave for you.
