Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.

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

Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
