More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.

Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius

All things are changing and thou thyself art in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction and the whole universe to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
When you are offended at anyone's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. By attending to them, you will forget your anger and learn to live wisely.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
...if a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think of the universal substance, of which thou has a very small portion and of universal time, of which a short and indivisible interval has been assigned to thee and of that which is fixed by destiny, and how small a part of it thou art
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole contains nothing which is not or its advantage and all natures indeed have this common principle, but the nature of the universe has this principle besides, that it cannot be compelled even by any external cause to generate anything harmful to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
