Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself; whosoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.
Marcus AureliusYour mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible.
Marcus AureliusAdapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus AureliusWhen men hate or blame you, or say hurtful things about you, look deeply into their hearts and see what kind of men they are. You'll see how unnecessary it is to strain after their good opinion. Yet you must still think kindly of them. they are your neighbors. The gods help them as they do you, by dreams and oracles, to win their hearts' desires.
Marcus Aurelius
