Every person has within them an impenetrable sanctuary from which he cannot be expelled. This refuge is open to each of us, we need only to quiet our minds and find it. #Humanism #Philosophy #MarcusAurelius #HumanismChurch

The background is a photo deep in a dark green forest with tall trees and bright rays of sunshine spreading through the canopy of leaves. In the center of the photo is a semi-transparent square. The quote inside is “And therefore let they chief fort and place of defense be, a mind free from passions. A stronger place (whereunto to make his refuge, and so become impregnable) and better fortified than this, hath no man. He that seeth not this is unlearned. He that seeth it, and betaketh not himself to this place of refuge, is unhappy.” It is attributed to Marcus Aurelius.
