A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature.
Nothing is our except time.
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing.
Add each day something to fortify you against poverty and death.
Failure changes for the better, success for the worse.
A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two.
