Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If man reflects on the changes and transformations which follow one another like wave after wave and their rapidity, he will despise everything which is perishable.
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
As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land but the fame that comes after is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a disgrace to let ignorance and vanity do more with us than prudence and principle.
Marcus Aurelius
