Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius

Purge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.
Marcus Aurelius
