Image
Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As for others whose lives are not so ordered, he reminds himself constantly of the characters they exhibit daily and nightly at home and abroad, and of the sort of society they frequent and the approval of such men, who do not even stand well in their own eyes, has no value for him.
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
Image

To her who gives and takes back all, to nature, the man who is instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt take back what thou wilt. And he says this not proudly, but obediently and well pleased with her.
Marcus Aurelius

It is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning, when you are sluggish about getting up, let this thought be present: 'I am rising to a man's work.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
Marcus Aurelius
