Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take the shortest route. The one that nature planned - to speak and act in the healthiest way. Do that, and be free of pain and stress, free of all calculations and pretension.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take it that you have died today, and your life's story is ended and henceforward regard what future time may be given you as uncovenanted surplus, and live it out in harmony with nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.
Marcus Aurelius
