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

Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations (via rick2u)
|
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
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.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Let every action aim at the common good.
The sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
It is man’s peculiar fate to love even those who do him wrong.
