It is not the body, nor the personality that is the true self. The true self is eternal. Even on the point of death we can say to ourselves, "my true self is free. I cannot be contained."
Marcus AureliusAdapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus AureliusLook beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.
Marcus Aurelius
