The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.
Marcus AureliusHow easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus AureliusLook beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.
Marcus AureliusHe who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm; and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.
Marcus Aurelius
