"I seek the truth...it is only persistence..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.”

“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.”

“A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.”

“A difference which makes no difference is no difference at all.”

“If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.”

“Under the rose, since here are none but friends, To own the truth we have some private ends.”

“You can't no more teach what you ain't learned than you can come from where you ain't been.”

“Our intelligence cannot wall itself up alive, like a pupa in a chrysalis. It must at any cost keep on speaking terms with the universe that engendered it.”

“[Heraclitus] did not require humans or their sort of knowledge, since everything into which one may inquire he despises [as being] in contrast [to his own] inward-turning wisdom. [To him] all learning from others is a sign of nonwisdom, because the wise man focuses his vision on his own intelligence.”
