Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?

The stone that is thrown into the air is none the worse for falling down, and none the better for going up.

You are a little soul bearing about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say.

Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.

Take full account of what Excellencies you possess, and in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them, if you had them not.

Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment; and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.

How many together with whom I came into the world are already gone out of it.
