Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the case of all things which have a certain constitution, whatever harm may happen to any of them, that which is affected becomes consequently worse but in like case, a man becomes both better... and more worthy of praise, by making the right use of these accidents.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is in change, life is an opinion.
Marcus Aurelius

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
The body of an actor can be either his best friend or his worst enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am called to man's labour why then do I make a difficulty if I am going out to do what I was born to do and what I was brought into the world for?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We must press on then, in haste not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered.
Marcus Aurelius
