Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that.
Marcus Aurelius
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

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
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land but the fame that comes after is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
This is the mark of a perfect character - to pass through each day as though it were the last, without agitation, without torpor, and without pretense.
Marcus Aurelius
Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Adapt yourself to the life you have been given and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
