The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid. – Marcus Aurelius
Treat with utmost respect your power of forming opinions, for this power alone guards you against making assumptions that are contrary to nature and judgments that overthrow the rule of reason. – Marcus Aurelius
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it… Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle. – Marcus Aurelius
Let it be your constant method to look into the design of peoples actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself. – Marcus Aurelius
