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.
From Marcus Aurelius
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
