Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)
Do not grudge your brother his rest. He has at last become free, safe and immortal, and ranges joyous through the boundless heavens; he has left this low-lying region and has soared upwards to that place which receives in its happy bosom the souls set free from the chains of matter. Your brother has not lost the light of day, but has obtained a more enduring light. He has not left us, but has gone on before.
You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.
The sovereign good of man is a mind that subjects all things to itself and is itself subject to nothing; such a man's pleasures are modest and reserved, and it may be a question whether he goes to heaven, or heaven comes to him; for a good man is influenced by God Himself, and has a kind of divinity within him.
There is nothing which persevering effort and unceasing and diligent care cannot accomplish.
Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog; only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
To lose a friend is the greatest of all evils, but endeavour rather to rejoice that you possessed him than to mourn his loss.
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Prosperity asks for fidelity; adversity exacts it.
Philosophy's power to blunt all the blows of circumstance is beyond belief.
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution.
Tis a human trait to hate one you have wronged
Precepts are like seeds; they are little things which do much good; if the mind which receives them has a disposition, it must not be doubted that his part contributes to the generation, and adds much to that which has been collected.
Why do people not confess vices? It is because they have not yet laid them aside. It is a waking person only who can tell their dreams.
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
The whole discord of this world consists in discords.
He who is everywhere is nowhere.
Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man.
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
If virtue precede us every step will be safe.
Do everything as in the eye of another.
