There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.
Marcus Aurelius

Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.

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
Image
We must press on then, in haste not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.

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

Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'
Marcus Aurelius

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them from eternity?
Marcus Aurelius

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember this - that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Short-lived are both the praiser and the praised, and rememberer and the remembered: and all this in a nook of this part of the world and not even here do all agree, no, not any one with himself: and the whole earth too is a point.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.
Marcus Aurelius

We are the other of the other
