Viggen Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 ...i am a huge fan of Marcus Aurelius, here some of my favourites... Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." "Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight." "The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it." cheers viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maty Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'll go with that Scipio whose wife was forced to suicide by Messalina. Claudius, who knew nothing about it, invited the man to dinner a day later, and asked why his guest had not brought his wife along. Scipio's deadpan reply: 'She had to repay a debt to nature.'

Artimi Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Viggen, Marcus Aurelius is one of my favourite people too. "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." This is a wonderful quote. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecimusCaesar Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 The walls around Pompeii and Herculaneum offer some deep philosophical quotes: "Anyone who wants to defecate in this place is advised to move along. If you act contrary to this warning, you will have to pay a penalty." From Herculaneum. "We have wet the bed, host. I confess we have done wrong. If you want to know why, there was no chamber pot!" - from the Inn of the Muledrivers. "The one who buggers a fire burns his penis." The man I am having dinner with is a barbarian. Both from the basilica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
