That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees. – 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
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
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, This is a misfortune but To bear this worthily is good fortune. – Marcus Aurelius
