More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for synergy, just like the feet, just like the hands, just like the eyes, just like the rows of upper and lower teeth. Working against each other is unnatural, and being annoyed and turning one's back is counterproductive.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee, what can these things do to prevent thy mind from remaining pure, wise, sober, just?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The greatest part of what we say and do is really unnecessary. If a man takes this to heart, he will have more leisure and less uneasiness.
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
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is banal in experience, fleeting in duration, sordid in content in all respects the same today as generations now dead and buried have found it to be.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take it that you have died today, and your life's story is ended and henceforward regard what future time may be given you as uncovenanted surplus, and live it out in harmony with nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This is the mark of a perfect character - to pass through each day as though it were the last, without agitation, without torpor, and without pretense.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
