“No one can lose either the past or the future, for how can anyone be deprived of what he does not possess?”

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.

Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial.

Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly.

A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.

If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.
