Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you separate from . . . everything you have done in the past, everything that disturbs you about the future . . . and apply yourself to living the life that you are living-that is to say, the present-you can live all the time that remains to you until your death in calm, benevolence, and serenity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How soon will time cover all things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive without conceit, release without struggle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Light may earth's crumbling sand be laid on thee, that dogs may dig thy bones up easily
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Remember this - that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.
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
Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The true joy of humankind is in doing that which is most proper to our nature and the first property of people is to be kindly affected towards them that are of one kind with ourselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Short-lived are both the praiser and the praised, and rememberer and the remembered: and all this in a nook of this part of the world and not even here do all agree, no, not any one with himself: and the whole earth too is a point.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is the act of a madman to pursue impossibilities .
Marcus Aurelius
Image
One universe made up all that is and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.
Marcus Aurelius
