Image
Let no act be done without purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them from eternity?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes and him who has attended thee to thy grave, another soon will lament.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Blot out vain pomp check impulse quench appetite keep reason under its own control.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Yet living and dying, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. Things like these neither elevate nor degrade and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.
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
To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Find time still to be learning somewhat good, and give up being desultory.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
All is as thinking makes it so
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
They know not how many things are signified by the words stealing, sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what ought to be done for this is not effected by the eyes, but by another kind of vision.
Marcus Aurelius
