-I learned how to receive from friends what are esteemed favors, without being either humbled or letting them pass unnoticed.
-Refrain from fault-finding.
-All things flow.
-You will give yourself relief, if you do every act of your life as if it were the last, laying aside all carelessness, passionate aversion from the commands of reason, hypocrisy, self-love, and discontent with the portion that has been given to you.
-Give yourself time to learn something new and good.
-Offenses committed through desire are more blamable than those committed through anger.
-Since it is possible that you might depart from life this very moment, regulate every act and thought accordingly.
-How quickly all things disappear.
-Remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives, nor lives any other than this which he now loses.
-These two things then you must bear in mind: the one, that all things from eternity are of like forms and come round in a circle, and that it makes no difference whether a man shall see the same things during a hundred years or two hundred, or an infinite time; and the second, that he who lives longest ad he who will die soonest lose just the same. For the present is the only thing of which a man can be deprived.
-Everything that belongs to the body is a stream, and what belongs to the soul is a dream and vapor.
-What then can guide a man? One thing and only one, philosophy.
