Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.

A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.

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

The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.

In man's life, time is but a moment; being, a flux; sense is dim; the material frame corruptible; soul, an eddy of breath; fortune a thing inscrutable, and fame precarious.

You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
