"Take it that you have died today,..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Do not be ashamed of help.”

“The body of an actor can be either his best friend or his worst enemy.”

“But if we judge only those things which are in our power to be good or bad, there remains no reason either for finding fault with God or standing in a hostile attitude to man.”

“A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle; ...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; ...those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It comes at last--the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them--and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence, ...a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.”

“For death remembered should be like a mirror, Who tells us life’s but breath, to trust it error.”

“Let mortal man keep to his ownMortality, and not expect too much.”

“You all know the saying which is very true: What you resist persists. And I'm sure many of you have already found that out in your life. And then suddenly when you let go of resistance you let go of an attachment to something: I need this to happen in order to be happy; I don't want what is, I want something else. To be okay with what is, which is the simplicity of this moment, is the beginning of true change.”

“You can't change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It's not what you are going to do, but it's what you are doing now that counts.”

“We can learn not to keep situations or events alive in our minds, but to return our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment rather than be caught up in mental movie making.”
