Image
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This is enough. Do not add, And why were such things made in the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Body. Soul. Mind. Sensations: the body. Desires: the soul. Reasoning: the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land the only lasting fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The nature of the All moved to make the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Doctors keep their scalpels and other instruments handy, for emergencies. Keep your philosophy ready too - ready to understand heaven and earth. In everything you do, even the smallest thing, remember the chain that links them. Nothing earthly succeeds by ignoring heaven, nothing heavenly by ignoring earth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look deeply. Don't miss the inherent quality and value of everything.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your manners will depend very much upon the quality of what you frequently think on for the soul is as it were tinged with the colour and complexion of thought.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
Marcus Aurelius
