A man's life is what his thoughts make of it. Our life is what our thoughts make it.
More Quotes from Marcus Aurelius Antoninus:
At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that 'I am rising for the work of man.'Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of manyesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
If it is not seemly, do it not if it is not true, speak it not.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Death hangs over thee, While thou still live, while thou may, do good.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Is your cucumber bitter Throw it away. Are there briars in your path Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and say, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into this world' neither intolerable nor everlasting if thou bearest in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination. Pain is either an evil to the body (then let the body say what it thinks of it)or to the soul. But it is in the power of the soul to maintain its own serenity and tranquility....
