I cannot comprehend how any man can want anything but the truth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Run down the list of those who felt intense anger at something: the most famous, the most unfortunate, the most hated, the most whatever: Where is all that now? Smoke, dust, legend...or not even a legend. Think of all the examples. And how trivial the things we want so passionately are.
Marcus Aurelius

Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Since you are an integral part of a social system, let every act of yours contribute to the harmonization of social life. Any action that is not related directly or remotely to this social aim disturbs your life, and destroys your unity.
Marcus Aurelius
