| Words to live by from Marcus Aurelius, the Roman philosopher, emperor and attorney. | |
 | • When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love. • We have the potential to live a good life if we we learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference. • Death smiles at us all, but all one can do is smile back. • Look well within yourself, there is a source of strength which will always spring up if you will just look at it. • You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength. • The best revenge is not to be like your enemy. • A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions. • Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of strength, virtue and reason which today arm you against the present. |
