"To live each day as if it were thy last, without haste, without sloth, without hypocrisy."

"To love only what happens, what was spun for you. What could be more appropriate?"

"The true way to render ourselves happy is to love what we ought and not to hate what we ought not."

"It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility is nothing more than the good ordering of the mind, the self-sufficiency which is within."

"The universe is change; life is opinion."
