More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Light may earth's crumbling sand be laid on thee, that dogs may dig thy bones up easily
Marcus Aurelius
Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.
Marcus Aurelius
Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Purge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.
Marcus Aurelius
The inner master, when confronted with an obstacle, uses it as fuel, like a fire which consumes things that are thrown into it. A small lamp would be snuffed out, but a big fire will engulf what is thrown at it and burn hotter it consumes the obstacle and uses it to reach a higher level.
Marcus Aurelius
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius
Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.
Marcus Aurelius
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
Marcus Aurelius
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
I consist of a little body and a soul.
Marcus Aurelius
I cannot comprehend how any man can want anything but the truth.
Marcus Aurelius
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
Marcus Aurelius
To her who gives and takes back all, to nature, the man who is instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt take back what thou wilt. And he says this not proudly, but obediently and well pleased with her.
Marcus Aurelius
The mind in itself wants nothing, unless it creates a want for itself therefore it is both free from perturbation and unimpeded, if it does not perturb and impede itself.
Marcus Aurelius
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Marcus Aurelius
