Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
MA Marcus AureliusRoman emperor & Stoic · 121–180Wat dit citaat betekent
You cannot control events, but you can govern your response to them. That inner authority is a steady, renewable source of strength.
Context
Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher whose private notebook, Meditations, remains a handbook for steady living.
This line is among the quotes by Marcus Aurelius that readers return to on kalmte, drawn from Meditations — a small, portable reminder to carry into the morning.
