"‎"Begin the morning by saying to thyself,..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“People generally despise where they flatter, and cringe to those they would gladly overtop; so that truth and ceremony are two things.”

“The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.”

“Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor”

“However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive.”

“Every day brings a ship, Every ship brings a word; Well for those who have no fear, Looking seaward well assured That the word the vessel brings Is the word they wish to hear.”

“The sweets we wish for, turn to loathed sours,Even in the moment that we call them ours.”

“Women have an incredible ability to pick up on emotional signals. For example, there are some wolves that are so clever they have learned to dress up like sheep. Man says, "Looks like a sheep. Talks like a sheep." Woman says, "Ain't no sheep!"”

“Everything runs to excess; every good quality is noxious if unmixed.”

“Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made (man) is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.”
