Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.

Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse.

When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans.

No one wearies of benefits received.

Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.

Nothing is evil which is according to nature.
