"Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one."
"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..."
"If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance."
"Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground."
