How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.
Marcus AureliusWhy do you hunger for length of days? The point of life is to follow reason and the divine spirit and to accept whatever nature sends you. To live in this way is not to fear death, but to hold it in contempt. Death is only a thing of terror for those unable to live in the present. Pass on your way, then, with a smiling face, under the smile of him who bids you go
Marcus Aurelius
