More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
He that lives alone lives in danger society avoids many dangers.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
Marcus Aurelius
In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
Marcus Aurelius
The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.
Marcus Aurelius
It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.
Marcus Aurelius
It is not right to vex ourselves at things, for they care not about it.
Marcus Aurelius
It is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
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
No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius
In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond so is the whole universe.
Marcus Aurelius
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
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
Truth and ceremony are two things.
Marcus Aurelius
Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility.
Marcus Aurelius
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Observe constantly that all things take place by change.
Marcus Aurelius
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Marcus Aurelius
