Confine yourself to the present. Marcus Aurelius

Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it.

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

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.

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.

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

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

 If someone responds to insult like a rock, what has the abuser gained with his invective?

The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

Marcus Aurelius
