How soon will time cover all things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you separate from . . . everything you have done in the past, everything that disturbs you about the future . . . and apply yourself to living the life that you are living-that is to say, the present-you can live all the time that remains to you until your death in calm, benevolence, and serenity.
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
To a rational being it is the same thing to act according to nature and according to reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A great estate is a great disadvantage to those who do not know how to use it, for nothing is more common than to see wealthy persons live scandalously and miserably riches do them no service in order to virtue and happiness therefore 'tis precept and principle, not an estate, that makes a man good for something.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Find time still to be learning somewhat good, and give up being desultory.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
But if we judge only those things which are in our power to be good or bad, there remains no reason either for finding fault with God or standing in a hostile attitude to man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If any man can convince me and bring home to me that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change for I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The one thing worth living for is to keep one's soul pure.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is in change, life is an opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
