Quote
180 AD·Rome, Italy
From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence, not only from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts; and further, simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Marcus Aurelius·170 ADMen seek retreats for themselves, houses in the country, sea-shores, and mountains. But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul.
Seneca·63 ADThe primary indication, to my thinking, of a well-ordered mind is a man's ability to remain in one place and linger in his own company.
Thomas à KempisFirst keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
