Image
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everywhere and at all times it is in thy power piously to acquiesce in thy present condition, and to behave justly to those who are about thee, and to exert thy skill upon thy present thoughts, that nothing shall steal into them without being well examined.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Don't let your imagination to be crushed by life as a whole. Don't try to pictures everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand. ...Then remind yourself that past and present have no power over you. Only the present.
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 world is nothing but change, our life is only perception.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you need encouragement, think of the qualities the people around you have: this one's energy, that one's modesty, another's generosity, and so on. Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we're practically showered with them. It's good to keep this in mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Purge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.
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
Change your attitude to the things that bother you and you will be aware of them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My city and state are Rome. But as a human being? The world. So for me, good can only mean what's good for both communities.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
Marcus Aurelius
