"Everything that exists is in a manner..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Gluttony and drunkenness have two evils attendant on them; they make the carcass smart, as well as the pocket.”

“All that happens is as usual and familiar as the rose in spring and the crop in summer.”

“Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.”

“I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.”

“Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Don't ever underestimate the power of planning. You can't make your vision come to life unless you outline each goal-driven step at a time. And you can't reach your full potential unless you plan how to make the most of your purpose and passion. When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.”

“Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.”

“With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.”

“Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed... Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool; the moist dries, the parched becomes moist... It is in changing that things find repose.”

“Since [man] is infinitely removed from comprehending the extremes, the end of things and their beginning are hopelessly hidden from him in an impenetrable secret; he is equally incapable of seeing the nothing from which he was made, and the infinite in which he is swallowed up.”
