The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.

Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.

Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
