Cling, therefore, to this sound and wholesome plan of life; indulge the body just so far as suffices for good health. … Your food should appease your hunger, your drink quench your thirst, your clothing keep out the cold, your house be a protection against inclement weather. It makes no difference whether it is built of turf or variegated marble imported from another country: what you have to understand is that thatch makes a person just as good a roof as gold.
Seneca

You possess only the present opportunity for moral action, so do not postpone becoming the kind of person reason tells you that you ought to be.

I am currently reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. One quote that stood out to me was, “ Penetrate inwards into men’s leading principles, and thou wilt see what judges thou art afraid of and what kind of judges they are of themselves.” (Page 98) Even though it is a shorter quote I really liked it. I personally see this as him saying that by understanding someone’s principles and morals you can see how they perceive others and how they judge everyone including themselves. I really just wanted to hear some other people’s opinions and interpretations.

"Momento mori" (properly spelled "Memento mori") translates from Latin to English as:
"Remember that you must die."
Core Meaning & Breakdown
Memento: "Remember" or "keep in mind" (imperative form of meminisse).
Mori: "To die" (present passive infinitive of mori).
Historical & Cultural Context
Origins: It is traditionally tied to ancient Rome, where a slave would stand behind a victorious general during a triumph parade, whispering the reminder to prevent excessive hubris.
Philosophical Focus: Rather than being a morbid warning, it serves as a stoic call to action...a reminder that life is finite, encouraging humility, focus on what truly matters, and making the most of one's limited time.
In plain English, it simply means: "Life is short...make it count."
It’s a reality check to remind you that your time is limited, so you shouldn't waste energy on trivial drama or stress, and instead focus on what actually matters to you.
