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.

More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
Marcus Aurelius
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
Do not waste what remains of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benefit. To wonder what so-and-so is doing and why, or what he is saying, or thinking, or scheming -- in a word, anything that distracts you from fidelity to the ruler within you -- means a loss of opportunity for some other task.
Marcus Aurelius
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
If this is neither my own badness, nor an effect of my own badness, and the common weal is not injured, why am I troubled about it? And what is the harm to the common weal?
Marcus Aurelius
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius
If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
All things from eternity are of like forms and come round in circle.
Marcus Aurelius
So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.
Marcus Aurelius
Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself, and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over your own harmony by continually returning to it.
Marcus Aurelius
What we do now echoes in eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Failure to read what is happening in another's soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.
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
A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
Marcus Aurelius
Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and ay, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into the world?'
Marcus Aurelius
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Marcus Aurelius
