Image
If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is right that man should love those who have offended him. He will do so when he remembers that all men are his relations, and that it is through ignorance and involuntarily that they sin,--and then we all die so soon.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land the only lasting fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Sweep me up and send me where you please. For there I will retain my spirit, tranquil and content, as long as it can feel and act in harmony with its own nature. Is a change of place enough reason for my soul to become unhappy and worn, for me to become depressed, humbled, cowering, and afraid? Can you discover any reasons for this?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.
Marcus Aurelius

No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius

Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
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
Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The offender needs pity, not wrath those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that lives alone lives in danger society avoids many dangers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which is really beautiful has no need of anything not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
