Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.

Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a disgrace to let ignorance and vanity do more with us than prudence and principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
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
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
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All is as thinking makes it so
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus Aurelius
