Nature which governs the whole will soon change all things which you see, and out of their substance will make other things and again other things... in order that the world may be ever new.

It is not the actions of others which trouble us (for those actions are controlled by their governing part), but rather it is our own judgments. Therefore remove those judgments and resolve to let go of your anger, and it will already be gone. How do you let go? By realizing that such actions are not shameful to you.

All things from eternity are of like forms and come round in circle.

Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.

When pain is unbearable it destroys us; when it does not it is bearable.

Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.

Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man - yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.
