Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh. – Marcus Aurelius
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. – Marcus Aurelius
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one form. – Marcus Aurelius
Let it be your constant method to look into the design of peoples actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself. – Marcus Aurelius
