The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority,... - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
"You are a little soul carrying about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say."
"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."
"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."
