More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
When pain is unbearable it destroys us when it does not it is bearable.
Marcus Aurelius
...if a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.
Marcus Aurelius
Without a purpose, nothing should be done.
Marcus Aurelius
The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
Marcus Aurelius
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
That which is really beautiful has no need of anything not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself, and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over your own harmony by continually returning to it.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Neither in writing nor in reading wilt thou be able to lay down rules for others before thou shalt have first learned to obey rules thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.
Marcus Aurelius
Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.
Marcus Aurelius
Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.
Marcus Aurelius
A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes and him who has attended thee to thy grave, another soon will lament.
Marcus Aurelius
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
Marcus Aurelius
