Image
Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for cooperation
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How soon will time cover all things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are the other of the other
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: What is his point of reference here? But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we do now echoes in eternity.
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
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
Marcus Aurelius
