If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius

More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
Marcus Aurelius
Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.
Marcus Aurelius
Your manners will depend very much upon the quality of what you frequently think on for the soul is as it were tinged with the colour and complexion of thought.
Marcus Aurelius
Take the shortest route. The one that nature planned - to speak and act in the healthiest way. Do that, and be free of pain and stress, free of all calculations and pretension.
Marcus Aurelius
Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.
Marcus Aurelius
I, who have never willfully pained another, have no business to pain myself.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
Marcus Aurelius
That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.
Marcus Aurelius
Every man's life lies within the present for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus Aurelius
Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.
Marcus Aurelius
The one thing worth living for is to keep one's soul pure.
Marcus Aurelius
We must press on then, in haste not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.
Marcus Aurelius
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.
Marcus Aurelius
If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.
Marcus Aurelius
No one can lose either the past or the future - how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess? ... It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived: and if this is all he has, he cannot lose what he does not have.
Marcus Aurelius
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Marcus Aurelius
A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus Aurelius
