All things fade and quickly turn to myth. - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..."

"If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance."

"Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence."

"If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance."
