Internal Calm

Thank you Ralph!

“When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you.”

Marcus Aurelius

“That all is as thinking makes it so – and you control your thinking. So remove your judgements whenever you wish and then there is calm – as the sailor rounding the cape finds smooth water and the welcome of a waveless bay.”

Marcus Aurelius

“What Paul says about Peter tells us more about Paul than about Peter”

Baruch Spinoza

“Don’t worry about what others think. Mind what you think. Watch the movements of your mind, and focus your thoughts on something worthy.”

Marcus Aurelius
