"Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“People who labor all their lives but have no purpose to direct every thought and impulse toward are wasting their time-even when hard at work.”

“The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.”

“Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.”

“Amidst the rush of worldly comings and goings, I observe how all endings become beginnings”

“Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”

“This single Stick, which you now behold ingloriously lying in that neglected Corner, I once knew in a flourishing State in a Forest: It was full of Sap, full of Leaves, and full of Boughs: But now, in vain does the busy Art of Man pretend to vie with Nature, by tying that withered Bundle of Twigs to its sapless Trunk: It is at best but the Reverse of what it was; a Tree turned upside down, the Branches on the Earth, and the Root in the Air.”

“I'm just trying to change my life because I'm not above killing any drug dealer for money.”

“It doesn't occur to me at this moment to say more; another time, perhaps tomorrow, I may have more to say, but always the same thing and about the same, for only gypsies, robber gangs and swindlers follow the adage that where a person has once been he is never to go again.”

“Nowhere is it ordained that history moves in a straight line.”
