Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
All is ephemeral - fame and the famous as well.
A man's happiness,-to do the things proper to man.
Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.
A person's life is what their thoughts make it.
Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
