More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Men despise one another and flatter one another and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.
Marcus Aurelius
To her who gives and takes back all, to nature, the man who is instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt take back what thou wilt. And he says this not proudly, but obediently and well pleased with her.
Marcus Aurelius
Constantly contemplate the whole of time and the whole of substance, and consider that all individual things as to substance are a grain of a fig, and as to time the turning of a gimlet .
Marcus Aurelius
The true joy of humankind is in doing that which is most proper to our nature and the first property of people is to be kindly affected towards them that are of one kind with ourselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, 'I have been harmed.' Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.
Marcus Aurelius
Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and ay, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into the world?'
Marcus Aurelius
Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.
Marcus Aurelius
