More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Treat with utmost respect your power of forming opinions, for this power alone guards you against making assumptions that are contrary to nature and judgments that overthrow the rule of reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you separate from . . . everything you have done in the past, everything that disturbs you about the future . . . and apply yourself to living the life that you are living-that is to say, the present-you can live all the time that remains to you until your death in calm, benevolence, and serenity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end for all things are of one kin and of one form.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is not right to vex ourselves at things, for they care not about it.
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
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
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
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your task is to stand straight not to be held straight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death, like birth, is one of nature's mysteries, the combining of primal elements and dissolving of the same into the same.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a disgrace to let ignorance and vanity do more with us than prudence and principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Adapt yourself to the life you have been given and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that I am rising for the work of man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love ... then make that day count!
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.
Marcus Aurelius
