 Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and to worship of reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Meditations, Book 4, verse 16
Severally on the occasion of everything that thou doest, pause and ask thyself, if death is a dreadful thing because it deprives thee of this.
Marcus Aurelius
The Meditations
Never esteem anything as of advantage to thee that shall make thee break thy word or lose thy self-respect.
Marcus Aurelius
Meditations
A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
