Love the people with whom fate brings you together

Your time has a limit set to it. Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment; or it will be gone, and never in your power again.

Things can never touch the soul, but stand inert outside it, so that disquiet can arise only from fancies within.

Purge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.

To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief

I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me. But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions.

Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
