01. If something is humanly possible, it is attainable by you too.
02. Death and life, celebrity and stigma, pain and pleasure, wealth and want-all these things happen to both good and bad people, so they are neither beautiful nor ugly and neither good nor bad
03. You should also always bear in mind that you and the person in question will both be dead, and, shortly thereafter, not even the slightest mention of your names will survive.
04. Do not disrupt yourself. Strip yourself down to simplicity.
-Marcus Aurelius-
