Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
... Allow yourself a space of quiet, wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Guard also against another kind of error: the folly of those who weary their days in much business, but lack any aim on which their whole effort, nay, their whole thought, is focused.
Marcus Aurelius
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Marcus Aurelius
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
All things from eternity are of like forms and come round in circle.
Marcus Aurelius
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.
Marcus Aurelius
A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus Aurelius
Why should a man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution of all the elements? For it is according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
When pain is unbearable it destroys us when it does not it is bearable.
Marcus Aurelius
