Death hangs over thee, While thou still live, while thou may, do good.Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has caught the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season. Must a man then be one of these, who in a manner acts thus without observing it Yes. What more dost thou want when thou hast done a man a service Art thou not content that thou hast done something conformable to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for it, just as if the eye demanded a recompense for seeing, or the feet should demand a recompense for walking.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
If it is not seemly, do it not if it is not true, speak it not.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
