Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
