Love the people with whom fate brings you together

God sees the inner spirit stripped of flesh, skin, and all debris. For his own mind only touches the spirit that he has allowed to flow from himself into our bodies. And if you can act the same way, you will rid yourself of all suffering. For surely if you are not preoccupied with the body that encloses you, you will not trouble yourself about clothes, houses, fame, and other showy trappings.

Nothing befalls a man except what is in his nature to endure.

Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.

What we do in life ripples in eternity.

For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?

The longest-lived and the shortest-lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.
