Do not be ashamed of help.

Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.

Give yourself a gift: the present moment.

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

A spider is proud when it has caught a fly; one man when he has caught a poor hare, and another when he has taken a little fish in a net, and another when he has taken wild boars, and another when he has taken bears, and another when he has taken Sarmatians. Are not these robbers, if you examine their opinions?

Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?

There is no misfortune, but to bear it nobly is good fortune.
