If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
In the morning, when you are sluggish about getting up, let this thought be present: 'I am rising to a man's work.'
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius Antonius
The act of dying is one of the acts of life.
Marcus Aurelius Antonius
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 Antonius
You have power over your mind--not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius Antonius
Ad astra per aspera.
Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
Non est ad astra mollis e terris via (Seneca)
Ut sementem feceris ita metes (Cicero)
Credula vitam spes fovet et melius cras fore semper dicit (Tibullus)
Leve fit, quod bene fertur, onus (Ovid)
Alea iacta est (Caeser)
