Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.

Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.

Nothing befalls any man which he is not fitted to endure.

Does what's happened keep you from acting with justice, generosity, self-control, sanity, prudence, honesty, humility, straightforward ness, and all other qualities that allow a person's nature to fulfill itself? So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.

All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.

The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.

The ruling power within, when it is in its natural state, is so related to outer circumstances that it easily changes to accord with what can be done and what is given it to do.
