Image
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your task is to stand straight not to be held straight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Pray look upon the plants and birds, the ants, spiders, and bees, and you will see them all exerting their nature, and busy in their station. Pray, shall not a man act like a man?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Man must be arched and buttressed from within, else the temple wavers to the dust.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things can never touch the soul, but stand inert outside it, so that disquiet can arise only from fancies within.
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
Look at everything that exists, and observe that it is already in dissolution and in change, and as it were putrefaction or dispersion, or that everything is so constituted by nature as to die.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around. That's all you need to know.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
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
Image
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
