Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.

Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.

That all is as thinking makes it so – and you control your thinking. So remove your judgements whenever you wish and then there is calm - as the sailor rounding the cape finds smooth water and the welcome of a waveless bay.

How good it is, when you have roast meat or suchlike foods before you, to impress on your mind that this is the dead body of a fish, this the dead body of a bird or pig.
