More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
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
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before.
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
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Welcome every experience the looms of fate may weave for you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No state sorrier than that of the man who keeps up a continual round, and pries into the secrets of the nether world, as saith the poet, and is curious in conjecture of what is in his neighbour's heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How soon will time cover all things.
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
Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
