More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
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
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Yet living and dying, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. Things like these neither elevate nor degrade and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor
Marcus Aurelius

Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond so is the whole universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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

Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.
Marcus Aurelius

It is a shame for the soul to be first to give way in this life, when thy body does not give way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is mere opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If I and my two children cannot move the gods, the gods must have their reasons.
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
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
Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Don't let your imagination to be crushed by life as a whole. Don't try to pictures everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand. ...Then remind yourself that past and present have no power over you. Only the present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
Marcus Aurelius
