"If unwilling to rise in the morning,..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius
If unwilling to rise in the morning, say to thyself, 'I awake to do the work of a man.'
More by Marcus Aurelius
“A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.”
“Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.”
“Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.”
More on Motivation
“A great deal of what people say, think, or do is actually motivate by fear, which of course is always linked with having your focus on the future and being out of touch with the Now. As there are no problems in the Now, there is no fear either.”
“You have to be burning with "an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right." If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.”
“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.”
