More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Yet living and dying, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. Things like these neither elevate nor degrade and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Welcome every experience the looms of fate may weave for you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It will suffice thee to remember as concerning pain ... that the mind may, by stopping all manner of commerce and sympathy with the body, still retain its own tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When pain is unbearable it destroys us when it does not it is bearable.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not be ashamed of help.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which is really beautiful has no need of anything not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Embellish the soul with simplicity, with prudence, and everything which is neither virtuous nor vicious. Love all men. Walk according to God for, as a poet hath said, his laws govern all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Find joy in simplicity, self-respect, and indifference to what lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow the divine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one can lose either the past or the future - how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess? ... It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived: and if this is all he has, he cannot lose what he does not have.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.
Marcus Aurelius
