Why should a man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution of all the elements? For it is according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according to nature.
Marcus AureliusSo you know how things stand. Now forget what they think of you. Be satisfied if you can live the rest of your life, however short, as your nature demands. Focus on that, and don't let anything distract you. You've wandered all over and finally realized that you never found what you were after: how to live. Not in syllogisms, not in money, or fame, or self-indulgence. Nowhere.
Marcus AureliusEverything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.
Marcus AureliusLive with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.
