Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours. – Marcus Aurelius
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil. – Marcus Aurelius
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else. – Marcus Aurelius
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away. – Marcus Aurelius
