More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse.
Marcus Aurelius
The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Your life is an expression of all your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
The blazing fire makes flames and brightness out of everything thrown into it.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
Marcus Aurelius
Sweep me up and send me where you please. For there I will retain my spirit, tranquil and content, as long as it can feel and act in harmony with its own nature. Is a change of place enough reason for my soul to become unhappy and worn, for me to become depressed, humbled, cowering, and afraid? Can you discover any reasons for this?
Marcus Aurelius
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.
Marcus Aurelius
Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.
Marcus Aurelius
He who pays no attention to what his neighbor does, says or thinks, preferring to concentrate on making his own actions appropriate and justifiable, better uses his time.
Marcus Aurelius
If souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them from eternity?
Marcus Aurelius
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
We must press on then, in haste not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.
Marcus Aurelius
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.
Marcus Aurelius
We are the other of the other
Marcus Aurelius
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Marcus Aurelius
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
