Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
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.
Death smiles at us all, but all a man can do is smile back.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

-Emperor Marcus Aurelius
