A mans life is what his thoughts make of it. – Marcus Aurelius
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now. – Marcus Aurelius
Life is a warfare and a strangers sojourn, and after fame is oblivion. – Marcus Aurelius
There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with. – Marcus Aurelius
Thinking more than others about our own thoughts is not self-centeredness. It means that if asked whats on our mind, we are less likely to mention being aware of the world around us, and more likely to mention our inner reflections. But we are less likely to mention thinking about other people. – Elaine N. Aron
