Prize that which is best in the universe; and this is that which useth everything and ordereth everything.
Marcus Aurelius...the sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his.
Marcus AureliusIf any man should conceive certain things as being really good, such as prudence, temperance, justice, fortitude, he would not after having first conceived these endure to listen to anything which should not be in harmony with what is really good.
Marcus AureliusOur life is what our thoughts make it. Do every act of your life as if it were your last. In a word, your life is short. You must make the most of the present with the aid of reason and justice. Since it is possible that you may be quitting life this very moment, govern every act and thought accordingly.
Marcus Aurelius
