As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

While we are postponing, life speeds by.

If you wished to be loved, love.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.

Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.

It is the superfluous things for which men sweat, - superfluous things that wear our togas theadbare, that force us to grow old in camp, that dash us upon foreign shores.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
