Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.

Whatever may happen to thee, it was prepared for thee from all eternity.

The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.

The one thing worth living for is to keep one's soul pure.

A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.
