Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius
