How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The inner master, when confronted with an obstacle, uses it as fuel, like a fire which consumes things that are thrown into it. A small lamp would be snuffed out, but a big fire will engulf what is thrown at it and burn hotter it consumes the obstacle and uses it to reach a higher level.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.

Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.
Marcus Aurelius

Every man's life lies within the present for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.
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
Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
