Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.

Marcus Aurelius

If this is neither my own badness, nor an effect of my own badness, and the common weal is not injured, why am I troubled about it? And what is the harm to the common weal?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe always that everything is the result of a change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to make new ones like them.
Marcus Aurelius

All things from eternity are of like forms and come round in circle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because your own strength is unequal to a task, do not assume it is beyond the powers of man.

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
