What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
Marcus AureliusOur anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
Marcus AureliusHow can a man find a sensible way to live? One way and one only- Philosophy. And my philosophy means keeping that vital spark within you free from damage and degradation, using it to transcend pain and pleasure, doing everything with a purpose, avoiding lies and hypocrisy, not relying on another person's actions or failings. To accept everything that comes, and everything that is given, as coming from that same spiritual source.
Marcus Aurelius
