Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.

Whoever values peace of mind and the health of the soul will live the best of all possible lives.

The substance of the universe is obedient and compliant; and the reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing evil, for it has no malice, nor does it do evil to anything, nor is anything harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according to this reason.

Where a man can live, he can also live well.
