Marcus Aurelius

Each day provides its own gifts.

Loss is nothing else but change,and change is Natures delight.

Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.

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

If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

You have power over your mind � not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

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

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

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.

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.

Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
