Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.

Severally on the occasion of everything that thou doest, pause and ask thyself, if death is a dreadful thing because it deprives thee of this.

People exist for one another.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.

Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.

He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected.
