"All things fade and quickly turn to myth."
"striid andWthdraw into yourself. Our master-reason asks no more than to act justly, and thereby to achieve calm."
"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."
"What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne."
