Image
It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.
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
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes and him who has attended thee to thy grave, another soon will lament.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstance revert at once to yourself and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of harmony if you keep going back to it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

For outward show is a wonderful perverter of the reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that neither the future nor the past pains thee, but only the present. But this is reduced to a very little, if thou only circumscribest it, and chidest thy mind, if it is unable to hold out against even this.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
... Allow yourself a space of quiet, wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Guard also against another kind of error: the folly of those who weary their days in much business, but lack any aim on which their whole effort, nay, their whole thought, is focused.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every man's life lies within the present for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Why should a man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution of all the elements? For it is according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.
Marcus Aurelius
