Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Hast thou reason? I have. Why then dost not thou use it? For if this does its own work, what else dost thou wish?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You need to be prepared for firm decisions and action, without losing gentleness towards those who obstruct or abuse you. It's as great a weakness to be angry with them as it is to abandon your plan of action and give up through fear.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let no act be done without purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think nothing profitable to you which compels you to break a promise, to lose your self respect, to hate any person, to curse, to act the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not be ashamed of help.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The sinner sins against himself the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.
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
Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse.
Marcus Aurelius
