Favourite quotations The Lord of the Universe who reigned
before anything was created.
When all was made by his will
He was acknowledged as King.

And when all shall end
He still all alone shall reign.
He was, He is,
and He shall be in glory.

And He is one, and there's no other,
to compare or join Him.
Without beginning, without end
and to Him belongs dominion and power.

And He is my God, my living God.
to Him I flee in time of grief,
and He is my miracle and my refuge,
who answers the day I shall call.

To Him I commend my spirit,
in the time of sleep and awakening,
even if my spirit leaves,
God is with me, I shall not fear.

What of it, then? You embarked, you set sail, you made port. Go ashore now. If it is to another life, nothing is empty of the gods, even on that shore: and if to insensibility, you will cease to suffer pains and pleasures, no longer in thrall to a bodily vessel which is a master as far inferior as its servant is superior. One is mind and divinity, the other a clay of dust and blood. - Marcus Aurelius

Remind yourself too that each of us lives only in the present moment, a mere fragment of time: the rest is life past or uncertain future. - Marcus Aurelius
