What We Cannot Bear Removes Us From

Everything That Happens Happens As It Should, And If You Observe Carefully, You Will Find This To Be So.

You Are A Little Soul Bearing About A Corpse, As Epictetus Used To Say.

Reflect Frequently Upon The Instability Of Things, And How Very Fast The Scenes Of Nature Are Shifted. Matter Is In Perpetual Flux. Change Is Always And Everywhere At Work; It Strikes Through Causes And Effects, And Leaves Nothing Fixed And Permanent.

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.

Praise Adds Nothing To Beauty--makes It Neither Better Nor Worse.
