“Anger and grief come from weakness; both signify surrendering to emotions. Accept that wicked people exist, but don't expect to be immune from their actions,”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations: Modern English Edition

“Prayer, more and more, is not something we do, but what we are letting God do in us. And when that happens, it is not surprising that we get a bit wobbly and our emotions become a bit tempestuous, and we become baffled and depressed as well. So don’t panic! For when those disturbances are going on, it is very likely that God is beginning to settle down more deeply in you.”
― Rowan Williams, Being Christian: Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, Prayer

“These self-proclaimed politicians and philosophers of the world, who think they are virtuous, are often wretched and contemptible.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations: Modern English Edition

“When you see someone doing something, ask yourself what their goal is. Start with yourself and examine your own actions carefully.”
