Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The body of an actor can be either his best friend or his worst enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be not disgusted, nor discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles but when thou bast failed, return back again, and be content if the greater part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature, and love this to which thou returnest
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The intelligence of the universe is social.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.
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
If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is the duty of men to love even those who injure them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Find time still to be learning somewhat good, and give up being desultory.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The sinner sins against himself the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou mayest foresee... the things which will be. For they will certainly be of like form, and it is not possible that they should deviate from the order of things now: accordingly to have contemplated human life for forty years is the same as to have contemplated it for ten thousand years.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
