"I, who have never willfully pained another,..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.”

“He who flies from his master is a runaway; but the law is master, and he who breaks the law is a runaway. And he also who is grieved or angry or afraid, is dissatisfied because something has been or is or shall be of the things which are appointed by Him who rules all things, and He is Law, and assigns to every man what is fit. He then who fears or is grieved or is angry is a runaway.”

“Always bear this in mind, that very little indeed is necessary for living a happy life.”

“ONE MUST BE COMPASSIONATE TO ONE'S SELF BEFORE EXTERNAL COMPASSION.”

“We are not evil, inadequate or incompetent when our relationships fail.”

“Be patient with yourself even when you make mistakes.”

“He could beat anything, he thought, because no thing could hurt him if he did not care.”

“The things that make me cry are when the people I love have gone through pain and I’ve seen it.”

“Grief. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.”
