Marcus Aurelius
I, who have never willfully pained another, have no business to pain myself.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Marcus Aurelius
Every man's life lies within the present for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

Marcus Aurelius
