Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.
The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.
Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
It is a shameful thing for the soul to faint while the body still perseveres.
Welcome every experience the looms of fate may weave for you.
When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man's life.
