Seneca the Younger

Marcus Aurelius wrote this 2,000 years ago:

Meditations. Letters from a Stoic. Enchiridion. One to live by. Which one?

Which way?

- Epictetus

“Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.”

"Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are."

“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it.” (On the Shortness of Life, ch. 1)

"The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today."

"There is no genius without a touch of madness."

"Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company."

“If you live in harmony with nature you will never be poor; if you live according what others think, you will never be rich.”
