Read MoreMarcus Aurelius on Anger
“Keep this thought handy when you feel a fit of rage coming on—it isn’t manly to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier. A real man doesn’t give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance—unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.”
- MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS , 11.18.5
Anger is not impressive or tough—it’s a mistake. It’s weakness.
(The Daily Stoic)
Don't waste your time looking back
Don't waste your time looking back, you're not going that way.
- Ragnar Lothbrok
I started watching Vikings only last year and went through it like a maniac. In one of the episodes I was struck by this simple line that Ragnar speaks. The writers managed to take a well known verse and make it new and fresh and feel like something Ragnar would say. Either way, meditate on this one as you prepare for the next week.
The True Journey - Quote.
"The only true journey, the only fountain of youth, would not be to visit new lands but to have different eyes, to view the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees, that each of them is."
- Marcel Proust
The Cosmos, by Carl Sagan
““The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.””
