If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week.

If today were the last day of my life, Would I want to do what I'm about to do today? And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Remember, no human condition is ever permanent. Then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune nor too scornful in misfortune.

The were good times, there were hard times, but there were never bad times.
