More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Above, below, all around are the movements of the elements. But the motion of virtue is in none of these: it is something more divine, and advancing by a way hardly observed it goes happily on its road.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not waste what remains of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benefit. To wonder what so-and-so is doing and why, or what he is saying, or thinking, or scheming -- in a word, anything that distracts you from fidelity to the ruler within you -- means a loss of opportunity for some other task.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This is the mark of a perfect character - to pass through each day as though it were the last, without agitation, without torpor, and without pretense.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
... 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
Image
He does not write at all whose poems no man reads
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Praise adds nothing to beauty--makes it neither better nor worse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You need to be prepared for firm decisions and action, without losing gentleness towards those who obstruct or abuse you. It's as great a weakness to be angry with them as it is to abandon your plan of action and give up through fear.
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
Imagine you were now dead, or had not lived before his moment. Now view the rest of your life as a bonus.
Marcus Aurelius
