Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.
Marcus AureliusThe happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does; just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.
Marcus AureliusIt doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus AureliusLive not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.
Marcus AureliusNature which governs the whole will soon change all things which you see, and out of their substance will make other things and again other things... in order that the world may be ever new.
Marcus Aurelius
