When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
Marcus Aurelius

More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Marcus Aurelius
External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.
Marcus Aurelius
To expect an impossibility is madness.
Marcus Aurelius
Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.
Marcus Aurelius
Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.
Marcus Aurelius
The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.
Marcus Aurelius
Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.
Marcus Aurelius
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
We are born for synergy, just like the feet, just like the hands, just like the eyes, just like the rows of upper and lower teeth. Working against each other is unnatural, and being annoyed and turning one's back is counterproductive.
Marcus Aurelius
Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.
Marcus Aurelius
A great estate is a great disadvantage to those who do not know how to use it, for nothing is more common than to see wealthy persons live scandalously and miserably riches do them no service in order to virtue and happiness therefore 'tis precept and principle, not an estate, that makes a man good for something.
Marcus Aurelius
Above, below, all around are the movements of the elements. But the motion of virtue is in none of these: it is something more divine, and advancing by a way hardly observed it goes happily on its road.
Marcus Aurelius
He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.
Marcus Aurelius
It doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus Aurelius
Why should any of these things that happen externally distract thee? Give thyself leisure to learn some good thing: cease roving to and fro.
Marcus Aurelius
Pray look upon the plants and birds, the ants, spiders, and bees, and you will see them all exerting their nature, and busy in their station. Pray, shall not a man act like a man?
Marcus Aurelius
