More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations
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
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
As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value
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
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
I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As for others whose lives are not so ordered, he reminds himself constantly of the characters they exhibit daily and nightly at home and abroad, and of the sort of society they frequent and the approval of such men, who do not even stand well in their own eyes, has no value for him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I cannot comprehend how any man can want anything but the truth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The one thing worth living for is to keep one's soul pure.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Spend your brief moment according to nature's law, and serenely greet the journey's end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Truth and ceremony are two things.
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
