"The time you have left is short. Live it as if you were on a mountain. Here or there makes no difference, if wherever you live you take the world as your city. Let men see, let them observe a true man living in accordance with nature. If they cannot bear him, let them kill him — a better fate than a life like theirs."

“A book that has changed my life is “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius. I re-read it all the time—just the other day, in fact. When I was 25, I’d underline certain parts of it, in my thirties other parts and now that I’m in my fifties it’s a completely different read. He was an extraordinary man. He writes about how you need to let yourself feel internal peace for what you’ve accomplished, but also explains so many other things.” — Brunello Cucinelli, via The Wall Street Journal.
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
— Meditations III, 7, Marcus Aurelius
