Image
Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for the sake of one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Short-lived are both the praiser and the praised, and rememberer and the remembered: and all this in a nook of this part of the world and not even here do all agree, no, not any one with himself: and the whole earth too is a point.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My city and state are Rome. But as a human being? The world. So for me, good can only mean what's good for both communities.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing - here is the perfection of character.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is not right to vex ourselves at things, for they care not about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
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
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men despise one another and flatter one another and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.
Marcus Aurelius
