A good character, which is formed by a good life, is the greatest gift of all.
The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.
From Letters from a Stoic
If you wish to be rich, do not add to your money, but subtract from your desire.
A good character, when established, can make time seem to stretch.
If you want to be rich, do not add to your money, but subtract from your desire.
You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
No one can lose either the past or the future; how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess?
