How much time he gains who does not look to see what his nei... - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy."
"How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy."
"What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne."
"If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed."
"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..."
"When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you."
"Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one."
