Image
While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.
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
Reflect often upon the rapidity with which all existing things, or things coming into existence, sweep past us and are carried away.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I can at once become happy anywhere, for he is happy who has found himself a happy lot. In a word, happiness lies all in the functions of reason, in warrantable desires and virtuous practice.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People exist for one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember: Matter: how tiny your share of it. Time: how brief and fleeting your allotment of it. Fate: how small a role you play in it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
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
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.
Marcus Aurelius
