More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Which is recorded of Socrates, that he was able both to abstain from, and to enjoy, those things which many are too weak to abstain from, and cannot enjoy without excess. But to be strong enough both to bear the one and to be sober in the other is the mark of a man who has a perfect and invincible soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
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
Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Gluttony and drunkenness have two evils attendant on them they make the carcass smart, as well as the pocket.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My city and state are Rome. But as a human being? The world. So for me, good can only mean what's good for both communities.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It will suffice thee to remember as concerning pain ... that the mind may, by stopping all manner of commerce and sympathy with the body, still retain its own tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible life in a palace is possible therefore even in a palace a right life is possible.
Marcus Aurelius
