Marcus Aurelius
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.

Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
We are the other of the other
