It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.
Marcus AureliusThe inner master, when confronted with an obstacle, uses it as fuel, like a fire which consumes things that are thrown into it. A small lamp would be snuffed out, but a big fire will engulf what is thrown at it and burn hotter; it consumes the obstacle and uses it to reach a higher level.
Marcus AureliusThe time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.
Marcus AureliusDig inside. Inside is the fountain of good, and it will forever flow, if you will forever dig.
Marcus Aurelius
