Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around. That's all you need to know.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and ay, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into the world?'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius

This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
