Marcus Aurelius
Image
At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that I am rising for the work of man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If it's in your control, why do you do it? If it's in someone else's control, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way. Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image

Marcus Aurelius
Image
It will suffice thee to remember as concerning pain ... that the mind may, by stopping all manner of commerce and sympathy with the body, still retain its own tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
