Quote

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

Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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.

Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that lives alone lives in danger society avoids many dangers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
