Marcus Aurelius Wave Quotations

Be like a headland of rock on which the waves break incessantly; but it stands fast and around it the seething of the waters sink to rest

Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest.

If man reflects on the changes and transformations which follow one another like wave after wave and their rapidity, he will despise everything which is perishable.
