Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus AureliusThere is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.
Marcus AureliusSo you know how things stand. Now forget what they think of you. Be satisfied if you can live the rest of your life, however short, as your nature demands. Focus on that, and don't let anything distract you. You've wandered all over and finally realized that you never found what you were after: how to live. Not in syllogisms, not in money, or fame, or self-indulgence. Nowhere.
Marcus Aurelius
