"He who fears death either fears to..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.”

“Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it.”

“All things are the same, familiar in enterprise, momentary in endurance, coarse in substance. All things now are as they were in the day of those whom we have buried.”

“Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.”

“At the end of my life, with just one breath left, if you come, I’ll sit up and sing.”

“Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.”

“We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear. That old law about "an eye for an eye" leaves everybody blind... The time is always right to do the right thing. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”

“Against love's fire fear`s frost hath dissolution”

“Loud threats often indicate deep fears”
