Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus AureliusDress not thy thoughts in too fine a raiment. And be not a man of superfluous words or superfluous deeds.
Marcus AureliusKeep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river; the "what" is in constant flux, the "why" has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius...if a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.
