The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

Your life is an expression of all your thoughts.

Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.

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

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Do not fear death, but welcome it, since it too comes from nature. For just as we are young and grow old, and flourish and reach maturity, have teeth and a beard and grey hairs, conceive, become pregnant, and bring forth new life, and all the other natural processes that follow the seasons of our existence, so also do we have death. A thoughtful person will never take death lightly, impatiently, or scornfully, but will wait for it as one of life's natural processes.

No one wearies of benefits received.
