15 truths & advices about life from Marcus Aurelius:
1. "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
2. "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."
3. "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."
4. "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
5. "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
6. "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
7. "When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love."
8. "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."
9. "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live."
10. "Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?"
11. "I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others."
12. "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
13. "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking."
14. "The best revenge is not to be like your enemy."
15. "Here is a rule to remember in future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not "This is misfortune," but "To bear this worthily is good fortune."
