Everything which belongs to the body is a stream, and what belongs to the soul is a dream. – Marcus Aurelius #Wisdom

Honor and revere the gods, treat human beings as they deserve, be tolerant with others and strict with yourself. Remember, nothing belongs to you but your flesh and blood—and nothing else is under your control. – Marcus Aurelius #Inspiration

Those who choose to have no real purpose in life are ever rootless and dissatisfied, tossed by their aimlessness into ever-changing situations. – Seneca #Philosophy

Let silence be your general rule; or say only what is necessary and in few words. – Epictetus #Stoicism

Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to live ... while you have life in you, while you still can, make yourself good. – Marcus Aurelius #Motivation

We are weak, watery beings standing in the midst of unrealities; therefore let us turn our minds to the things that are everlasting. – Seneca #Motivation

To wish to be well is a part of becoming well. – Seneca #Wisdom

Ask about those whose names are learned by heart, and you will see that they have these distinguishing marks: X cultivates Y and Y cultivates Z – no one bothers about himself. – Seneca #Inspiration
