A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.

He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm; and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.

Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.

Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.

Give yourself a gift: the present moment.

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

Each day provides its own gifts.
