Live a good life... Marcus Aurelius Quote

"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."

Marcus Aurelius

Be not disgusted... Marcus Aurelius Quote

"Be not disgusted, nor discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles; but when thou has failed, return back again, and be content if the greater part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature, and love this to which thou returnest."

Marcus Aurelius
