More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The greatest part of what we say and do is really unnecessary. If a man takes this to heart, he will have more leisure and less uneasiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.
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
In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
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
Image
The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Constantly contemplate the whole of time and the whole of substance, and consider that all individual things as to substance are a grain of a fig, and as to time the turning of a gimlet .
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things themselves cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree, nor have they admission to the soul nor can they turn or move the soul: it turns and moves itself alone and whatever judgment it may think proper to make, such it makes by remaking for itself the things that present themselves to it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Body. Soul. Mind. Sensations: the body. Desires: the soul. Reasoning: the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Truth and ceremony are two things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
