Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.<\/li>\n<li>A man&#8217;s worth is no greater than his ambitions.<\/li>\n<li>Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.<\/li>\n<li>When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love &#8230;<\/li>\n<li>You have power over your mind &#8211; not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.<\/li>\n<li>Life is opinion.<\/li>\n<li>Confine yourself to the present.<\/li>\n<li>If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.<\/li>\n<li>Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.<\/li>\n<li>The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and the unforeseen, and is not apt to fall.<\/li>\n<li>Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what&#8217;s left and live it properly. What doesn&#8217;t transmit light creates its own darkness.<\/li>\n<li>It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius Antoninius) was a Roman Emperor 161 \u2013 180 AD.
