"Perfection of character is this: to live..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.”

“There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.”

“The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.”

“To the mean all becomes mean.”

“Self-command is the main elegance.”

“The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.”

“Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.”

“Only the noble of heart are called to difficulty.”

“Not to be, but to seem, virtuous - it is a formula whose utility we all discovered in the nursery.”
