"No longer talk at all about the..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.”

“A spider is proud when it has caught a fly; one man when he has caught a poor hare, and another when he has taken a little fish in a net, and another when he has taken wild boars, and another when he has taken bears, and another when he has taken Sarmatians. Are not these robbers, if you examine their opinions?”

“The nature of the universe is the nature of things that are. Now, things that are have kinship with things that are from the beginning. Further, this nature is styled Truth; and it is the first cause of all that is true.”

“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.”

“Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.”

“I don't want to spend my whole life talking about the promised land without ever getting there. I want to live in it.”

“Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.”

“Knowledge, Virtue, Power are the victories of man over his necessities, his march to the dominion of the world.”

“No doubt, when modesty was made a virtue, it was a very advantageous thing for the fools, for everybody is expected to speak of himself as if he were one.”
