Though you break your heart, men will go on as before
Death hangs over thee, While thou still live, while thou may, do good
If it does not fit leave it, if it is not true do not say it.
Glory arrives too late when it comes only to one’s ashes
He misses what is meant by epigram – who thinks it only frivolous flimflam
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Shame on the soul, to falter on the road of life while the body yet endures
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike
…praise does not make anything better or worse.
Give up your thirst for books, so that you do not die a grouch.
The universe is flux, life is opinion.
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.
Remember: philosophy requiresonly what your nature already demands.
