Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.

Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

Remember this that very little is needed to make a happy life.

Mankind have been created for the sake of one another. Either instruct them, therefore, or endure them.

To change your mind and to follow him who sets you right is to be nonetheless the free agent that you were before.

Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.

Every instant of time is a pinprick of eternity.

Everything is fitting for me, my universe, which fits thy purpose. Nothing in its good time is too early or too late for me; everything is fruit for me which thy seasons, Nature, bear; from thee, in thee, to thee, are all things.
