More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love ... then make that day count!
Marcus Aurelius
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
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
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Keep yourself simple, good, pure, serious, and unassuming the friend of justice and godliness kindly, affectionate, and resolute in your devotion to duty.
Marcus Aurelius
If this is neither my own badness, nor an effect of my own badness, and the common weal is not injured, why am I troubled about it? And what is the harm to the common weal?
Marcus Aurelius
If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Think nothing profitable to you which compels you to break a promise, to lose your self respect, to hate any person, to curse, to act the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
The substance of the universe is obedient and compliant and the reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing evil, for it has no malice, nor does it do evil to anything, nor is anything harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according to this reason.
Marcus Aurelius
But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in your power whenever you choose to retire into yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.
Marcus Aurelius
That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.
Marcus Aurelius
Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.
Marcus Aurelius
