arcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor and a philosopher whose writings influenced Tytalus the Founder, and provided the basis for the philosophy of Domus Tytali. Here are some selected Aurelian quotes that may be applicable to magi Tytali:

From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose; and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason.

From Fronto I learned to observe what envy, and duplicity, and hypocrisy are in a tyrant, and that generally those among us who are called Patricians are rather deficient in paternal affection.

This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole, and what is my nature, and how this is related to that, and what kind of a part it is of what kind of a whole; and that there is no one who hinders thee from always doing and saying the things which are according to the nature of which thou art a part.

Remember that all is opinion.

Let no act be done without a purpose, nor otherwise than according to the perfect principles of art.

That which does not make a man worse than he was, also does not make his life worse, nor does it harm him either from without or from within.

Love the art, poor as it may be, which thou hast learned, and be content with it; and pass through the rest of life like one who has entrusted to the gods with his whole soul all that he has, making thyself neither the tyrant nor the slave of any man.

Examine men's ruling principles, even those of the wise, what kind of things they avoid, and what kind they pursue.

It is no evil for things to undergo change, and no good for things to subsist in consequence of change.

Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.

About what am I now employing my own soul? On every occasion I must ask myself this question, and inquire, what have I now in this part of me which they call the ruling principle? And whose soul have I now? That of a child, or of a young man, or of a feeble woman, or of a tyrant, or of a domestic animal, or of a wild beast?

Things themselves touch not the soul, not in the least degree; nor have they admission to the soul, nor can they turn or move the soul: but the soul turns and moves itself alone, and whatever judgments it may think proper to make, such it makes for itself the things which present themselves to it.

He who loves fame considers another man's activity to be his own good; and he who loves pleasure, his own sensations; but he who has understanding, considers his own acts to be his own good.

No man will hinder thee from living according to the reason of thy own nature: nothing will happen to thee contrary to the reason of the universal nature.

Love that only which happens to thee and is spun with the thread of thy destiny. For what is more suitable?

Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.

In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.

Observe what thy nature requires, so far as thou art governed by nature only: then do it and accept it, if thy nature, so far as thou art a living being, shall not be made worse by it.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
