“Most people suffer between the fear of death and the hardships of life. They don't want to live, but they don't know how to die. So, make life as a whole enjoyable by getting rid of your worries. No possession can make you happy unless you're ready to lose it; and nothing is lost with less pain than something that can't be missed once it's gone. So, toughen your spirit against the setbacks that affect even the most powerful.”

“When you're offended by someone's wrongdoing, immediately reflect on your own faults. Remember that you, too, may think it's good to be rich, live in pleasure, or be praised. Recognizing your own errors will help you forgive others, especially when you realize they act out of ignorance and can't help themselves.”
