If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

No man is happy who does not think himself so.
-Marcus Aurelius

Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
-Marcus Aurelius

Give yourself a gift: the present moment.
-Marcus Aurelius

Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
-Marcus Aurelius

Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
-Marcus Aurelius

Our life is what our thoughts make it.
