Meditations


I'm feeling sort of lazy today, so i decided to use some quotes from Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, an amazing writer.


"Begin each day by telling your self: Today I shall not be meeting with interference, ingratitude, disloyalty, illwill, and selfishness-all of them due to offenders' ignorance of what is good or evil."


"Hour by hour resolve firmly , like a Roman and a man, to do what comes to hand with correct and natural dignity, and with humanity, independence and justice. Allow your mind freedom from all other considerations."


"Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet, wherein you can add you knowledge of good and learn to curb your restlessness."


"Don't waste the rest of your life speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benifit."


"Treat with respect the power you have to form your own opinion"


"Remember that man only lives in the present, in this fleeting instant: a;; the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. This mortal life is a little thing, lived in a little corner of the earth."


mmk let me know what you thing, i'll write more quotes tomorrow!
