You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus AureliusIn one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
Marcus AureliusYour mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus AureliusFrom the philosopher Catulus, never to be dismissive of a friend's accusation, even if it seems unreasonable, but to make every effort to restore the relationship to its normal condition.
