Remember That The Future Is Neither Ours

There Is Nothing Terrible In Life For The Man Who Realizes There Is Nothing Terrible In Death.

Accustom Yourself To Believe That Death Is Nothing To Us, For Good And Evil Imply Awareness, And Death Is The Privation Of All Awareness; Therefore A Right Understanding That Death Is Nothing To Us Makes The Mortality Of Life Enjoyable, Not By Adding To Life An Unlimited Time, But By Taking Away The Yearning After Immortality. For Life Has No Terror; For Those Who Thoroughly Apprehend That There Are No Terrors For Them In Ceasing To Live.

All Other Love Is Extinguished By Self-love; Beneficence, Humanity, Justice, Philosophy, Sink Under It.

Men Are So Thoughtless, Nay, So Mad, That Some, Through Fear Of Death, Force Themselves To Die.

The Fool’s Life Is Empty Of Gratitude And Full Of Fears; Its Course Lies Wholly Toward The Future.
