Accept the things
To which fate binds you and
Love the people with whom fate
Brings you together
But do so with all your heart.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

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 Antoninus~

Never esteem anything as of
advantage to you
that will make you break your word
or lose your self-respect.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

Everything that happens
happens as it should,
and if you observe carefully,
you will find this to be so.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

We ought to do good to others
as simply as a horse runs,
or a bee makes honey,
or a vine bears grapes
season after season
without thinking of the grapes
it has borne.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

Never let the future disturb you.
You will meet it, if you have to,
with the same weapons of reason which
today arm you against the present.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

Remember this --
very little is needed
to make a happy life.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

Such as are your habitual thoughts,
such also will be the character
of your mind; for the soul
is dyed by the thoughts.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~

The happiness of your life
depends upon the quality of your thoughts:
therefore, guard accordingly,
and take care that you entertain no notions
unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus~
