"Consider how many do not even know..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“No man is happy who does not think himself so.”

“In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.”

“A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.”

“When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.”

“The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.”

“I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion; one, fame, the other, desert; one, feats, the other, humility; one, lucre, the other, love; one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.”

“All is ephemeral - fame and the famous as well.”

“In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.”

“Snow endures but for a season, and joy comes with the morning.”
