"Death and I are head to head in a total collision, pure and mutual distaste."
"As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead."

"The road is long if one proceeds by way of precepts but short and effectual if by way of personal example."
"Those who wish their virtue to be advertised are not striving for virtue but for renown. Are you not willing to be just without being renowned? Nay, indeed you must often be just and be at the same time disgraced. And then, if you are wise, let ill repute, well won, be a delight. Farewell."
"For what prevents us from saying that the happy life is to have a mind that is free, lofty, fearless and steadfast - a mind that is placed beyond the reach of fear, beyond the reach of desire, that counts virtue the only good, baseness the only evil, and all else but a worthless mass of things, which come and go without increasing or diminishing the highest good, and neither subtract any part from the happy life nor add any part to it?A man thus grounded must, whether he wills or not, necessarily be attended by constant cheerfulness and a joy that is deep and issues from deep within, since he finds delight in his own resources, and desires no joys greater than his inner joys."
"What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat."
