If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.

Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.

Don't let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole.

All things are in the act of change; thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.

He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.

Always bear this in mind, that very little indeed is necessary for living a happy life.

Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
