Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.

Anger

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Cycles

Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle.

Enjoyment

Where a man can live, he can also live well.

Fear

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Goodness

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.

Humankind

Always observe how ephemeral and worthless human things are. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew.

Judgment and Judges

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.

Life and Living

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

Opinions

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

Power

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Truth

One universe made up all that is; and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.
