More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it--turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal.
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
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them from eternity?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From the philosopher Catulus, never to be dismissive of a friend's accusation, even if it seems unreasonable, but to make every effort to restore the relationship to its normal condition.
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
Spend your brief moment according to nature's law, and serenely greet the journey's end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered, but wish all reasonable beings to be made like themselves and... rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree is a fig-tree, and that what does the work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is a man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Things can never touch the soul, but stand inert outside it, so that disquiet can arise only from fancies within.
Marcus Aurelius
