The quote I chose is‚ “The best revenge is not to become like the one who wronged you.” Marcus Aurelius came up with this quote. I think this quote means that if you do something back to a person that has wronged you‚ you’re just stooping down to their level and giving them satisfaction. But‚ if you don’t get revenge on them and don’t stoop to their level‚ it’ll be revenge within itself because it shows them that you’re the bigger person. A real word example would be‚ the United States and terrorists

Mumford has a unique voice that shows empathy and brokenness‚ and it is quite amazing how he can make a listener believe the lyrics being sung (Mathena).

The song Ditmas was written by Marcus Mumford‚ Ted Dwane‚ Ben Lovett‚ and Winston Marshall. The song was written near the Ditmas Park area of Brooklyn‚ New York. That is also where the song was recorded‚ but the

I understand where Marcus Borg ideals on‚ “Reading the Bible‚ again for the first time: Taking the Bible seriously but not literally.” The Bible is our human reaction to God‚ combining divine nature to our human nature. Therefore the Old Testament is stories and historical facts from the Israelites‚ while the New Testament is‚ Jesus Christ‚ birth‚ death‚ salvation and the church. The Bible is full of stories and does contain authority and messages and is sacramental. The Bible is the Word of God

Caesar is inappropriate since Julius Caesar was not the tragic hero of the play. Several feel that the true tragic hero of the play was Caesar’s right hand man‚ Marcus Brutus. For centuries this debate on whether who should possess the title of the tragedy is still unknown. However‚ I think that the play should be entitled The Tragedy of Marcus Brutus‚ because Brutus contains more qualities of a tragic hero than Caesar does. A tragic hero is stated to be the main character of the tragedy that always

Cicero: A (Somewhat) Model Roman Marcus Tullius Cicero was assigned the proconsulship of Cilicia during the year 51-50 B.C. and‚ via correspondence between him and multiple of his close friends‚ his attitudes and actions during his governorship become quite clear. Although his aims maintain hints of triviality‚ there is no doubt that‚ based on Cicero’s own words‚ he had the province’s well-being and his duties in mind. This being said‚ Cicero by no means speaks highly of Cilicia and it is evident

Marcus Aurelius’s‚ Meditations‚ is a series of twelve books that record Aurelius’s private thoughts‚ which were written to himself for guidance and self-improvement. Meditations draws ideas from Stoicism‚ and at times Platonic thinking‚ and covers topics about life‚ suffering‚ and a man’s ethics. One of the ideas that Aurelius has is that we can avoid feeling negative feelings by changing our attitude towards any situation. Aurelius claims that “everything which happens‚ happens justly”.

In Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick each story brings a unique idea to the book. My personal favorite one of the short stories was the the fourth one "The Painter." I find that this is my favorite because it is not as dark as the other stories. It still gives us insight into the main themes of love and sacrifice. I see in this story that it gives us a lighter view on these subjects. Love is displayed between both the relationship of the mother and her daughter and the one between Merle and Eric
