And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What does not benefit the hive is no benefit to the bee.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

It is a shame for the soul to be first to give way in this life, when thy body does not give way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He does not write at all whose poems no man reads
Marcus Aurelius

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
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A person's life is what their thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Cultivate these, then, for they are wholly within your power: sincerity and dignity industriousness and sobriety. Avoid grumbling, be frugal, considerate, and frank be temperate in manner and speech carry yourself with authority.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think of the universal substance, of which thou has a very small portion and of universal time, of which a short and indivisible interval has been assigned to thee and of that which is fixed by destiny, and how small a part of it thou art
Marcus Aurelius
