Image
Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All that is harmony for you, my Universe, is in harmony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right time for you is too early or too late for me. Everything is fruit to me that your seasons bring, Nature. All things come of you, have their being in you, and return to you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature insists on whatever benefits the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a disgrace to let ignorance and vanity do more with us than prudence and principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What does not benefit the hive is no benefit to the bee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.
Marcus Aurelius
