More quotes by 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
Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He is a true fugitive who flies from reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is mere opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No state sorrier than that of the man who keeps up a continual round, and pries into the secrets of the nether world, as saith the poet, and is curious in conjecture of what is in his neighbour's heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.
Marcus Aurelius

Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around. That's all you need to know.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.
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
Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you need encouragement, think of the qualities the people around you have: this one's energy, that one's modesty, another's generosity, and so on. Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we're practically showered with them. It's good to keep this in mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
