A mans life is what his thoughts make of it. – Marcus Aurelius
I have often wondered how it is everyone loves himself more than the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than the opinions of others. – Marcus Aurelius
He tells himself over and over again in any choice presented to him, Prefer the hard. This holds good not only in great matters, but also in very small, in fighting by the frozen Danube and in starting the day early. – Marcus Aurelius
Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts. – Marcus Aurelius
