"Be tolerant with others and strict with..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“From Plato: the man who has an elevated mind and takes a view of all time and of all substance, dost thou suppose it possible for him to think that human life is anything great? It is not possible, he said. Such a man then will think that death also is no evil.”

“Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.”

“You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.”

“Compassion, tolerance, forgiveness and a sense of self-discipline are qualities that help us lead our daily lives with a calm mind”

“The virtues prized in free countries are honesty, self-discipline, a sense of responsibility to one's family, a sense of loyalty to one's employer and staff, and a pride in the quality of one's work. And these virtues only flourish in a climate of freedom.”

“When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.”

“I tolerate with the utmost latitude the right of others to differ from me in opinion without imputing to them criminality.”

“Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.”

“We don't believe in a small America. We believe in a big America - a tolerant America, a just America, an equal America - that values the service of every patriot.”
