Marcus Aurelius

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man's life.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

The act of dying is one of the acts of life.

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

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

Where a man can live, he can also live well.

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.

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.
