Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond so is the whole universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep yourself simple, good, pure, serious, and unassuming the friend of justice and godliness kindly, affectionate, and resolute in your devotion to duty.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think on this doctrine, - that reasoning beings were created for one another's sake that to be patient is a branch of justice, and that men sin without intending it.
Marcus Aurelius
