Receive without conceit, release without struggle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You need to be prepared for firm decisions and action, without losing gentleness towards those who obstruct or abuse you. It's as great a weakness to be angry with them as it is to abandon your plan of action and give up through fear.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The main thing we were made for is to work with others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstance revert at once to yourself and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of harmony if you keep going back to it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
