"Do not be wise in words -..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.”

“This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole,and what is my nature, and how this is related to that, and whatkind of a part it is of what kind of a whole; and that there is no onewho hinders thee from always doing and saying the things which areaccording to the nature of which thou art a part.”

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”

“Willing is not enough, we must do.”

“He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap”

“If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way. Don't wait for great opportunities. Seize common, everyday ones and make them great.”

“I do not expect old heads on young shoulders.”

“The intellectual is always showing off,the lover is always getting lost.The intellectual runs away.afraid of drowning;the whole business of loveis to drown in the sea.Intellectuals plan their repose;lovers are ashamed to rest.The lover is always alone.even surrounded by people;like water and oil, he remains apart.The man who goes to the troubleof giving advice to a loverget nothing. He's mocked by passion.Love is like musk. It attracts attention.Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade.”

“I have fought sixty battles, and I have learnt nothing which I did not know at the beginning.”
