Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

---

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

---

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.

---

Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?

---

If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.

---

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

---

You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

---

The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

---

What we do in life ripples in eternity.
