Image
If souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them from eternity?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take the shortest route. The one that nature planned - to speak and act in the healthiest way. Do that, and be free of pain and stress, free of all calculations and pretension.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one can lose either the past or the future - how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess? ... It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived: and if this is all he has, he cannot lose what he does not have.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because your own strength is unequal to a task, do not assume it is beyond the powers of man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live each day as if it be your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If any man can convince me and bring home to me that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change for I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things from eternity are of like forms and come round in circle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in your power whenever you choose to retire into yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The sinner sins against himself the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Hast thou reason? I have. Why then dost not thou use it? For if this does its own work, what else dost thou wish?
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
Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.
Marcus Aurelius
