"Don't go on discussing what a good..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Life is a stranger's sojourn, a night at an inn.”

“All is ephemeral - fame and the famous as well.”

“Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.”

“Be not simply good - be good for something.”

“Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.”

“No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.”

“The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.”

“Guide them by edicts, keep them in line with punishments, and the common people will stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. Guide them by virtue, keep them in line with the rites, and they will, besides having a sense of shame, reform themselves.”

“Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it.”
