More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
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
Anger cannot be dishonest.
Marcus Aurelius
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
Marcus Aurelius
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Death - a stopping of impressions through the senses, and of the pulling of the cords of motion, and of the ways of thought, and of service to the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius
Without a purpose, nothing should be done.
Marcus Aurelius
I can at once become happy anywhere, for he is happy who has found himself a happy lot. In a word, happiness lies all in the functions of reason, in warrantable desires and virtuous practice.
Marcus Aurelius
No state sorrier than that of the man who keeps up a continual round, and pries into the secrets of the nether world, as saith the poet, and is curious in conjecture of what is in his neighbour's heart.
Marcus Aurelius
The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
Marcus Aurelius
In the case of all things which have a certain constitution, whatever harm may happen to any of them, that which is affected becomes consequently worse but in like case, a man becomes both better... and more worthy of praise, by making the right use of these accidents.
Marcus Aurelius
The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.
Marcus Aurelius
Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.
Marcus Aurelius
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?
Marcus Aurelius
The mind in itself wants nothing, unless it creates a want for itself therefore it is both free from perturbation and unimpeded, if it does not perturb and impede itself.
Marcus Aurelius
I consist of a little body and a soul.
Marcus Aurelius
