Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole contains nothing which is not or its advantage and all natures indeed have this common principle, but the nature of the universe has this principle besides, that it cannot be compelled even by any external cause to generate anything harmful to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.
Marcus Aurelius

There is a limit circumscribed to your time – if you do not use it to clear away your clouds, it will be gone, and you will be gone, and the opportunity will not return

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
Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
And in the case of superior things like stars, we discover a kind of unity in separation. The higher we rise on the scale of being, the easier it is to discern a connection even among things separated by vast distances.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
