Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A person's life is what their thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive without conceit, release without struggle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.
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
Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The stone that is thrown into the air is none the worse for falling down, and none the better for going up.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be not disgusted, nor discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles but when thou bast failed, return back again, and be content if the greater part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature, and love this to which thou returnest
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
...small too even the longest fame thereafter, which is itself subject to a succession of little men who quickly die, and have no knowledge of themselves, let alone of those long dead.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because other people are fools, must you be so too?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think of the universal substance, of which thou has a very small portion and of universal time, of which a short and indivisible interval has been assigned to thee and of that which is fixed by destiny, and how small a part of it thou art
Marcus Aurelius
