Where I Am Death Is Not, Where

My Garden Does Not Whet The Appetite; It Satisfies It. It Does Not Provoke Thirst Through Heedless Indulgence, But Slakes It By Proffering Its Natural Remedy. Amid Such Pleasures As These Have I Grown Old.

Remember That The Future Is Neither Ours Nor Wholly Not Ours, So That We May Neither Count On It As Sure To Come Nor Abandon Hope Of It As Certain Not To Be.

A Free Life Cannot Acquire Many Possessions, Because This Is Not Easy To Do Without Servility To Mobs Or Monarchs.

Death Does Not Concern Us, Because As Long As We Exist, Death Is Not Here. And When It Does Come, We No Longer Exist.

The Acquisition Of Riches Has Been For Many Men, Not An End, But A Change, Of Troubles.
