Not for long, and I will be ashes or skeleton, maybe the name, and not the name.

If something seems too difficult, don't think it's beyond the powers of man. Conversely, if a person can commit a particular act worthy, then the same act can do you.

To indulge in excessive frustration or resentment it is to forget about the transience of human life and about the upcoming all die soon.

Blame yourself or blame anyone.

You can eliminate very much of what bothers you, as rooted entirely in your belief. And a wide space opens before you if you will embrace the idea whole world, think of eternal time, and then the rate of change, which alternately are subject to all of the individual things about how short the gap between their appearance and disappearance, the abyss of time before they occur and boundlessness after their disappearance.

Get out of life without malice, as you rested on the Commission of their craft, maintaining goodwill even to the fact that stood in your way.

If you are distressed about anything external, that depresses you, not the thing itself, but your judgment about it. But to eliminate the last - in your power. If you upset anything in your own mood, then who is stopping you to correct your way of thinking?

Suppress your imagination, constantly saying to himself: "Now depends on me, so in the soul there was neither contamination nor lust, nor even any confusion; but seeing everything as it is, I will use all according to his values." Remember this ability is inherent in you by nature.

Remember that, how strange to be surprised if the Fig tree produces Fig, in the same way - if the world produces something that make him peculiar. After all, it is inappropriate for a doctor and boatbuilder to surrender to amazement, if some people got a fever, or if you went to the nasty wind.

The nature of every being is satisfied while it is on the right track.

If we lose our awareness of misconceptions, then why even live?

People will do the same, as you don't fight.

Funny, trying to avoid someone else's depravity, that it is impossible not to try to avoid their own, which is entirely possible.

Anger is contrary to reason.
