More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
No one can lose either the past or the future - how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess? ... It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived: and if this is all he has, he cannot lose what he does not have.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.
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
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
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
Image
To her who gives and takes back all, to nature, the man who is instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt take back what thou wilt. And he says this not proudly, but obediently and well pleased with her.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live each day as if it be your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The stream of tendency in which all things seek to fulfill the law of their being.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land but the fame that comes after is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If it's in your control, why do you do it? If it's in someone else's control, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way. Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things themselves cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree, nor have they admission to the soul nor can they turn or move the soul: it turns and moves itself alone and whatever judgment it may think proper to make, such it makes by remaking for itself the things that present themselves to it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible life in a palace is possible therefore even in a palace a right life is possible.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and ay, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into the world?'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.
Marcus Aurelius
