Marcus Aurelius
  • The universe is change our life is what our thoughts make it.

  • It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

  • Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.

  • Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

  • Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
