Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
Marcus Aurelius

You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius

If any man should conceive certain things as being really good, such as prudence, temperance, justice, fortitude, he would not after having first conceived these endure to listen to anything which should not be in harmony with what is really good.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
I will march on in the path of nature till my legs sink under me, and then I shall be at rest, and expire into that air which has given me my daily breath.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Find joy in simplicity, self-respect, and indifference to what lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow the divine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
They know not how many things are signified by the words stealing, sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what ought to be done for this is not effected by the eyes, but by another kind of vision.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.
Marcus Aurelius
