Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is in change, life is an opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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

Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Sweep me up and send me where you please. For there I will retain my spirit, tranquil and content, as long as it can feel and act in harmony with its own nature. Is a change of place enough reason for my soul to become unhappy and worn, for me to become depressed, humbled, cowering, and afraid? Can you discover any reasons for this?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live each day as if it be your last.
Marcus Aurelius
