Image
Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason and to be always the same, in sharp pains, on the occasion of the loss of a child, and in long illness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou mayest foresee... the things which will be. For they will certainly be of like form, and it is not possible that they should deviate from the order of things now: accordingly to have contemplated human life for forty years is the same as to have contemplated it for ten thousand years.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everywhere and at all times it is in thy power piously to acquiesce in thy present condition, and to behave justly to those who are about thee, and to exert thy skill upon thy present thoughts, that nothing shall steal into them without being well examined.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The main thing we were made for is to work with others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is a kind of river, an irresistible flood sweeping up men and events and carrying them headlong, one after the other, to the great sea of being.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
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
Image
Think nothing profitable to you which compels you to break a promise, to lose your self respect, to hate any person, to curse, to act the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that lives alone lives in danger society avoids many dangers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The things... which are proper to the understanding no other man is used to impede, for neither fire, nor iron, nor tyrant, nor abuse, touches it in any way. When it has been made a sphere, it continues a sphere.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is nothing but change, our life is only perception.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I consist of a little body and a soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From the philosopher Catulus, never to be dismissive of a friend's accusation, even if it seems unreasonable, but to make every effort to restore the relationship to its normal condition.
Marcus Aurelius
