"Take away the complaint, 'I have been..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“How many after being celebrated by fame have been given up to oblivion; and how many who have celebrated the fame of others have long been dead.”

“It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.”

“He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.”

“Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.”

“I never view mistakes as failures. They are simply opportunities to find out what doesn't work.”

“No matter how bad someone has it, there are others who have it worse. Remembering that makes life a lot easier and allows you to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given.”

“He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.”

“Who hears the fishes when they cry?”

“To be, or not to be; that is the bare bodkin That makes calamity of so long life.”
