Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
