Thou seest how few be the things, the which if a man has at his command his life flows gently on and is divine.

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy; none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.

Neither in thy actions be sluggish nor in thy conversation without method, nor wandering in thy thoughts, nor let there be in thy soul inward contention nor external effusion, nor in life be so busy as to have no leisure.

Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.

Confine yourself to the present.

The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
