Marcus Aurelius — "Even in a palace, life can be lived well."

"Everything that happens, happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so."

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

"Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears."

"Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good."

"What is evil? It is that which you have seen many times. And when you are about to be angry with anyone, remember that man is not evil, but only acts in error."
