It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear n... - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."

"No man is happy who does not think himself so."

"Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground."

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

"Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one."
