Marcus Aurelius

Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

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

Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

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 happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
