Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Embellish the soul with simplicity, with prudence, and everything which is neither virtuous nor vicious. Love all men. Walk according to God for, as a poet hath said, his laws govern all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
