tu quoque si vis

lumine claro

cernere verum

tramite recto

carpere callem,

gaudia pelle,

pelle timorem

spemque fugato

nec dolor adsit

(Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius "De consolatione philosophiae")

i.e. if you want to find out real meanings for your life forget plaesures, face your fears and uncertainties and utmost avoid pain.
