Any man of forty who is endowed with moderate intelligence has seen—in the light of the uniformity of nature—the entire past and future. – Marcus Aurelius
If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. – Marcus Aurelius
Always observe how ephemeral and worthless human things are. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew. – Marcus Aurelius
Every mans life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain. – Marcus Aurelius
