More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.
Marcus Aurelius
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius
Treat with utmost respect your power of forming opinions, for this power alone guards you against making assumptions that are contrary to nature and judgments that overthrow the rule of reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.
Marcus Aurelius
Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.
Marcus Aurelius
The stone that is thrown into the air is none the worse for falling down, and none the better for going up.
Marcus Aurelius
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.
Marcus Aurelius
Observe constantly that all things take place by change.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Marcus Aurelius
The most complete revenge is not to imitate the aggressor.
Marcus Aurelius
When you need encouragement, think of the qualities the people around you have: this one's energy, that one's modesty, another's generosity, and so on. Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we're practically showered with them. It's good to keep this in mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Let there be freedom from perturbations with respect to the things which come from the external cause and let there be justice in the things done by virtue of the internal cause, that is, let there be movement and action terminating in this, in social acts, for this is according to thy nature.
Marcus Aurelius
This is enough. Do not add, And why were such things made in the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.
Marcus Aurelius
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
