"Consider when thou art much vexed or..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Nothing befalls a man except what is in his nature to endure.”

“I'm going to be meeting with people today who talk too much - people who are selfish, egotistical, ungrateful. But I won't be surprised or disturbed, for I can't imagine a world without such people.”

“Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.”

“Here life itself, life at its best and healthiest, awaits the caprice of the bullet. Let us see the development of the day. All else may stand over, perhaps for ever. Existence is never so sweet as when it is at hazard.”

“Each person is born to one possession which outvalues all his others-his last breath.”

“Books, like men their authors, have no more than one wayofcoming intothe world, but there areten thousand to go out of it, and return no more.”

“A balanced and skillful approach to life, taking care to avoid extremes, becomes a very important factor in conducting one's everyday existence.”

“Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill.”

“It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.”
