Quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
