And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

The man who has a house everywhere has a home nowhere

All things are in the act of change; thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.

Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.

Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.

... Allow yourself a space of quiet, wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Guard also against another kind of error: the folly of those who weary their days in much business, but lack any aim on which their whole effort, nay, their whole thought, is focused.

Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?
