I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.

Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it

It is a shame for the soul to be first to give way in this life, when thy body does not give way.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

Submit to the fate of your own free will.

Every moment think steadily as a Roman and a man to do what thou hast in hand with perfect and simple dignity, and feeling of affection, and freedom, and justice; and to give thyself relief from all other thoughts. And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last, laying aside all carelessness and passionate aversion from the commands of reason, and all hypocrisy, and self-love, and discontent with the portion which has been given to thee.
