Marcus Aurelius...

[WillyT]

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.

Marcus Aurelius

*****************************************************************************

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Marcus Aurelius

*****************************************************************************

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Marcus Aurelius

*****************************************************************************

“In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.”

- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
