"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."
"You are a little soul carrying about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say."
"Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence."
"The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are."
"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."
