It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting.The impediment to action advances action.What stands in the way becomes the way.
"Meditations."
Marcus Aurelius (26 April 121 – 17 March 180) was a Roman emperor from 161 to 180, a Stoic philosopher and the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors.
