Try it your way


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

Be Good Just Because


Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid. – Marcus Aurelius

Your Own Private Quietude

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. ~Marcus Aurelius
