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.

Whatever may happen to thee, it was prepared for thee from all eternity.

Glory arrives too late when it comes only to one's ashes

A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.

The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does; just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.

Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed.

Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
