People exist for one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because your own strength is unequal to a task, do not assume it is beyond the powers of man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things themselves cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree, nor have they admission to the soul nor can they turn or move the soul: it turns and moves itself alone and whatever judgment it may think proper to make, such it makes by remaking for itself the things that present themselves to it
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
Image
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the case of all things which have a certain constitution, whatever harm may happen to any of them, that which is affected becomes consequently worse but in like case, a man becomes both better... and more worthy of praise, by making the right use of these accidents.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?
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
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death and life, success and failure, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, all these happen to good and bad alike, and they are neither noble nor shameful - and hence neither good nor bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The greatest part of what we say and do is really unnecessary. If a man takes this to heart, he will have more leisure and less uneasiness.
Marcus Aurelius
