Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man.
Marcus AureliusHumans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.
Marcus AureliusBe like the cliff against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus AureliusIt doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus AureliusNothing happens to any man which he is not formed by nature to bear. The same things happen to another, and either because he does not see that they have happened or because he would show a great spirit he is firm and remains unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance and conceit should be stronger than wisdom.
Marcus Aurelius
