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
No one loses any other life than the one he now lives, nor does one live any other life than that which he will lose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If it's in your control, why do you do it? If it's in someone else's control, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way. Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for synergy, just like the feet, just like the hands, just like the eyes, just like the rows of upper and lower teeth. Working against each other is unnatural, and being annoyed and turning one's back is counterproductive.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is not right to vex ourselves at things, for they care not about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius

As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we do now echoes in eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered.
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
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take it that you have died today, and your life's story is ended and henceforward regard what future time may be given you as uncovenanted surplus, and live it out in harmony with nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The sinner sins against himself the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Constantly contemplate the whole of time and the whole of substance, and consider that all individual things as to substance are a grain of a fig, and as to time the turning of a gimlet .
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius
