More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.
Marcus Aurelius
Sweep me up and send me where you please. For there I will retain my spirit, tranquil and content, as long as it can feel and act in harmony with its own nature. Is a change of place enough reason for my soul to become unhappy and worn, for me to become depressed, humbled, cowering, and afraid? Can you discover any reasons for this?
Marcus Aurelius
The blazing fire makes flames and brightness out of everything thrown into it.
Marcus Aurelius
Imagine you were now dead, or had not lived before his moment. Now view the rest of your life as a bonus.
Marcus Aurelius
Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
