“Outward objects cannot take hold of the soul, nor force their passage into her, nor set any of her wheels going. No, the impression comes from herself, and it is her own motions which affect her. As for the contingencies of fortune, they are either great or little, according to the opinion she has of her own strength.” LittlesSoulForceOpinionObjectsFortuneImpressionWheelsPassagesContingency Book:The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Source: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
“From early childhood I had always dreamed of becoming an explorer. Somehow I had acquired the impression that an explorer was someone who lived in the jungle with natives and lots of wild animals, and I couldn’t imagine anything better than that! Unlike other little boys, most of whom changed their minds about what they want to be several times as they grew older, I never wavered from this ambition.” WantMindLittlesAnimalBoysImagineChildhoodChangedGrewBecomingAmbitionImpressionJungleLittle BoysExplorersWild AnimalEarly Childhood Author:John Goddard
