Whatever may happen to you was prepared for you from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of your being.

If you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.

The wrongdoer is often the person who left something undone, rather than the person who has done something

Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.

There is a limit circumscribed to your time – if you do not use it to clear away your clouds, it will be gone, and you will be gone, and the opportunity will not return

Our life is what our thoughts make it. Do every act of your life as if it were your last. In a word, your life is short. You must make the most of the present with the aid of reason and justice. Since it is possible that you may be quitting life this very moment, govern every act and thought accordingly.

When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man's life.
