More quotes by 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.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All that is harmony for you, my Universe, is in harmony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right time for you is too early or too late for me. Everything is fruit to me that your seasons bring, Nature. All things come of you, have their being in you, and return to you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Light may earth's crumbling sand be laid on thee, that dogs may dig thy bones up easily
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
All is as thinking makes it so
Marcus Aurelius

Men despise one another and flatter one another and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be not disgusted, nor discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles but when thou bast failed, return back again, and be content if the greater part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature, and love this to which thou returnest
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius
