More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I cannot comprehend how any man can want anything but the truth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Anger cannot be dishonest.
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
Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.
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
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is the act of a madman to pursue impossibilities .
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not waste what remains of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benefit. To wonder what so-and-so is doing and why, or what he is saying, or thinking, or scheming -- in a word, anything that distracts you from fidelity to the ruler within you -- means a loss of opportunity for some other task.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The mind in itself wants nothing, unless it creates a want for itself therefore it is both free from perturbation and unimpeded, if it does not perturb and impede itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How very near us stand the two vast gulfs of time, the past and the future, in which all things disappear.
Marcus Aurelius
