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
Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It's normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if you're using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he's living a normal life. And if it's normal, how can it be bad?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What does not benefit the hive is no benefit to the bee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let there be freedom from perturbations with respect to the things which come from the external cause and let there be justice in the things done by virtue of the internal cause, that is, let there be movement and action terminating in this, in social acts, for this is according to thy nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is banal in experience, fleeting in duration, sordid in content in all respects the same today as generations now dead and buried have found it to be.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dig within. There lies the wellspring of good.
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
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Anger cannot be dishonest.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end for all things are of one kin and of one form.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every man's life lies within the present for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature set a limit on sleep - as it did on eating and drinking. And youre over the limit. But not of working. There youre still below your quota. You dont love yourself enough. Or youd love your nature too and what it demands of you. People who love what they do wear themselves down doing it. They even forget to wash and eat.
Marcus Aurelius
