Syed Princy's Key Ideas from The Stoics
by F. H. Sandbach

“Everything of the body is a river.

Everything of the soul is dream and vapour.

Life is war and the abode of a stranger.

The only fame after death is oblivion.”

“Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see.”

“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.”

“The blazing fire makes flames and brightness out of everything thrown into it.”
