Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember this - that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it--turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This is enough. Do not add, And why were such things made in the world?
Marcus Aurelius
