It is not
death that a man should fear,
but he should fear never beginning to
live. |
Marcus Aurelius |
|
The only
wealth which you will keep forever is
the wealth you have given away. |
Marcus Aurelius |
|
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. |
Marcus Aurelius |
|
The object
of life is not to be on the side of the
majority, but to escape finding oneself
in the ranks of the
insane. |
Marcus Aurelius |
|
Let not
your mind run on what you lack as much
as on what you have already. |
Marcus Aurelius |
|
Begin − to
begin is half the work, the other half
still remains; again begin this, and
thou wilt have finished. |
Marcus Aurelius |
In his youth the
Stoic philosopher, and Roman
emperor, Marcus Aurelius was fond of boxing and
wrestling. He had also been trained to fight in armour.
