Nothing Befalls A Man Except What Is

All Things Change, And You Yourself Are Constantly Wasting Away. So Also Is The Universe.

Just Consider, My Friend, Whether A Pure Spirit And Virtue Are Anything Other Than Saving Your Life And Being Saved. Perhaps We Need To Discard The Idea Of Longevity And Cease Loving This Life, Instead Committing These Things To God And, Believing That No One Ever Escapes Destiny, To Consider, With That In Mind, How We May Live The Best Possible Life In The Time That Remains.

Let Goodness Go With The Doing.

Begin - To Begin Is Half The Work, Let Half Still Remain; Again Begin This, And Thou Wilt Have Finished.

No One Was Ever Injured By The Truth; But He Who Persists In Self-deception And Ignorance Is Injured.
