More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
Marcus Aurelius
Embellish the soul with simplicity, with prudence, and everything which is neither virtuous nor vicious. Love all men. Walk according to God for, as a poet hath said, his laws govern all.
Marcus Aurelius
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
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
When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
Marcus Aurelius
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.
Marcus Aurelius
All those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Marcus Aurelius
The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.
Marcus Aurelius
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love ... then make that day count!
Marcus Aurelius
The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.
Marcus Aurelius
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence.
Marcus Aurelius
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Do not be ashamed of help.
Marcus Aurelius
