Marcus Aurelius quote: "Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time..."
Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time. Marcus Aurelius

For it requires no definite material, in moving toward its purpose, but rather certain conditions; and it makes a material for itself out of that which opposes it, as a great fire lays hold of a mass that would have extinguished a tiny flame: when the fire is strong, it soon appropriates to itself the matter that is heaped on it and consumes it, rising...

Marcus Aurelius quote: "Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight."
Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight. Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Natural ability without education has more often raised a man..."
Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like..."
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else. Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature."
Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature. Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to..."
Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear. Marcus Aurelius
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so securestranquility. Marcus Aurelius
