Marcus Aurelius
b. 4-26-121; Cordoba, Spain
d. 3-17-180; Marrakesh, Morocco
Marcus Aurelius quotes:
• “A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.”
• “Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it.”
• “Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.”
• “Do every act of your life as if it were your last.”
• “How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.”
• “Poverty is the mother of crime.”

Friedrich Nietzsche
b. 10-15-1844; Germany
d. 8-25-1900
Friedrich Nietzsche, a 19th century philosopher, deeply questioned religion, morality, culture and science of an increasingly objectified and materialistic world, echoing American Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was the youngest person to ever hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. While accused of being the inspiration for nazism, he actually broke with his anti-Semetic editor and found his sister and brother-in-laws efforts to establish a "Germanic" colony in Paraguay laughable. Regretably it was his estranged sister and mother who "edited" his writings and estate during his mental breakdown and death.
Carl Gustav Jung read Nietzsche as a student and “spoke informally to members of his inner circle about a thinker whose works had not only overwhelmed him with the depth of their understanding of human nature but also provided the philosophical sources of many of his own psychological and metapsychological ideas” between 1934-39.
Friedrich Nietzsche quotes:
• “All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values.”
• “And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
• “Art is the proper task of life.”
• “The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”
• “He who laughs best today, will also laughs last.”
• “In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.”
• “Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”
• “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
• “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
• Nietzsche's Dancers : Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and the Revaluation of Christian Values
