A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus AureliusPurge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.
Marcus AureliusEvery man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus AureliusObserve and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
