Life is half spent before we know what it is.


Life is half spent before we know what it is.

The wise man should avoid wrath, pride, deceit, greed, hate and delusion.

The greatest of victories is the victory over oneself.

The body is yours - but is not you. The body is a garment that you are wearing, a machine that you are using, a vehicle that you are driving. The body is your possession. Just as a person does not identify himself as being the shirt he is wearing, he should also not identify himself with the body that he is wearing. 

Every instant of time is a pinprick of eternity. All things are insignificant, easily changed, vanishing away.
Life is a campaign, a brief staying in a strange region.

Life is a child moving counters in a game.

We don’t live as we wish, but as we can.

An unexamined life is not worth living.

He who does not think that what he has is more than ample is an unhappy man, even if he is the master of the whole Word.

Live joyfully with the woman whom you love the days which God has given you under the sun, for that is your portion in life.
