Re: Talk About a Philosopher
DT the book that he wrote to himself is called the *Meditations. *
Some of his quotes are:
"A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions".
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
“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.”
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking”
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength"
"Our life is what our thoughts make it.”
"He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.”
"Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.”
"The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth, you have given away”.
"Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
My favourite is "Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain."
