It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.

The world is nothing but change, our life is only perception.

No longer talk at all about the kind of man that a good man ought to be, but be such

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond; so is the whole universe.

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.

Nothing is evil which is according to nature.
