If any man can convince me and bring home to me that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change; for I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his deception and ignorance.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about. If it is good to say or do something, then it is even better to be criticized for having said or done it.

A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.

The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.

What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.

Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
