The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.

Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself; whosoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.

Stop whatever you're doing for a moment and ask yourself: Am I afraid of death because I won't be able to do this anymore?

Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death; and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.

The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.

It were well to die if there be gods, and sad to live if there be none.

When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans.
