From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose; and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason.

The substance of the universe is obedient and compliant; and the reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing evil, for it has no malice, nor does it do evil to anything, nor is anything harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according to this reason.

All that is from the gods is full of Providence.

The stream of tendency in which all things seek to fulfill the law of their being.

Give full attention and devotion to each act.

Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

Everything is but what we think it.
