More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered.
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
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
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
Image
Do not be ashamed of help.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for synergy, just like the feet, just like the hands, just like the eyes, just like the rows of upper and lower teeth. Working against each other is unnatural, and being annoyed and turning one's back is counterproductive.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
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
He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
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
The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The substance of the universe is obedient and compliant and the reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing evil, for it has no malice, nor does it do evil to anything, nor is anything harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according to this reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature set a limit on sleep - as it did on eating and drinking. And youre over the limit. But not of working. There youre still below your quota. You dont love yourself enough. Or youd love your nature too and what it demands of you. People who love what they do wear themselves down doing it. They even forget to wash and eat.
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
The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.
Marcus Aurelius
