Marcus AureliusThinkers

Anger is a mark of weakness, like grief, in that both mean being wounded and wincing.

Anger's consequences are far more grievous than its causes.

The Art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing. The main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unforeseen attack.

Change is not to be feared, but to be embraced, for without it, nothing could ever take place.

Ephemerality is the nature of things — look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

Ethics is best to be enacted rather than to be defined — Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.

Living is an art that is more like wrestling than dancing.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight..

Nothing is that out of which nothing can come, and by the same token, nor can a thing go back to nothing.
