Image
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
Image
A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes and him who has attended thee to thy grave, another soon will lament.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Praise adds nothing to beauty--makes it neither better nor worse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A person's life is what their thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: What is his point of reference here? But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look to the essence of a thing, whether it be a point of doctrine, of practice, or of interpretation.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Find joy in simplicity, self-respect, and indifference to what lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow the divine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is right that man should love those who have offended him. He will do so when he remembers that all men are his relations, and that it is through ignorance and involuntarily that they sin,--and then we all die so soon.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Marcus Aurelius
