We are born for cooperation

Enough of this wretched life and murmuring and apish tricks. Why art thou disturbed? What is there new in this? What unsettles thee? Is it the form of the thing? Look at it. Or is it the matter? Look at it. But besides these there is nothing. Towards the gods, then, now become at last more simple and better. It is the same whether we examine these things for a hundred years or three.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.

As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.

How many after being celebrated by fame have been given up to oblivion; and how many who have celebrated the fame of others have long been dead.
