Image
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
And in the case of superior things like stars, we discover a kind of unity in separation. The higher we rise on the scale of being, the easier it is to discern a connection even among things separated by vast distances.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe always that everything is the result of a change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to make new ones like them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Since you are an integral part of a social system, let every act of yours contribute to the harmonization of social life. Any action that is not related directly or remotely to this social aim disturbs your life, and destroys your unity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Truth and ceremony are two things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is in change, life is an opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am called to man's labour why then do I make a difficulty if I am going out to do what I was born to do and what I was brought into the world for?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
They know not how many things are signified by the words stealing, sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what ought to be done for this is not effected by the eyes, but by another kind of vision.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because other people are fools, must you be so too?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.
Marcus Aurelius
