"As far as you can, get into..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Each day provides its own gifts.”

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”

“You exist but as a part inherent in a greater whole. Do not live as though you had a thousand years before you. The common due impends; while you live, and while you may, be good.”

“We almost always see only what's wrong with other people and not what's wrong with us.”

“There is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the secrets of yourself.”

“If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.”

“Seeing with better eyes We can recognize that the offender is a valuable human being who struggles with the same needs, pressures, and confusions that we struggle with. We will recognize that the incident really may not have been about us in the first place. Instead it was about the wrongdoer's misguided attempt to meet his or her own needs. As we regard offenders from this point of view (regardless of whether they repent and regardless of what they have done or suffered), we will be in a position to forgive them.”

“The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose.”

“I went to a white school over here in Mason, Michigan. The white man made the mistake of letting me read his history books. He made the mistake of teaching me that Patrick Henry was a patriot and George Washington - wasn't nothing non-violent about old Pat or George Washington.”
