Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond; so is the whole universe.

Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens; but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.

Don't let your imagination to be crushed by life as a whole. Don't try to pictures everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand. ...Then remind yourself that past and present have no power over you. Only the present.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy; none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.

No form of nature is inferior to art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms.

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
