There is no man so blessed that some who stand by his deathbed won't hail the occasion with delight.
Marcus AureliusLook beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.
Marcus AureliusHow can a man find a sensible way to live? One way and one only- Philosophy. And my philosophy means keeping that vital spark within you free from damage and degradation, using it to transcend pain and pleasure, doing everything with a purpose, avoiding lies and hypocrisy, not relying on another person's actions or failings. To accept everything that comes, and everything that is given, as coming from that same spiritual source.
Marcus Aurelius
