More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius
Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.
Marcus Aurelius
If you are distressed by something, it is due to your own estimate of it and you have the power to change it at will.
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
Men exist for the sake of one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
You are a little soul bearing about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say.

Find joy in simplicity, self-respect, and indifference to what lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow the divine.
Marcus Aurelius
