More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
The things... which are proper to the understanding no other man is used to impede, for neither fire, nor iron, nor tyrant, nor abuse, touches it in any way. When it has been made a sphere, it continues a sphere.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
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
Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The intelligence of the universe is social.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, 'I have been harmed.' Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you need encouragement, think of the qualities the people around you have: this one's energy, that one's modesty, another's generosity, and so on. Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we're practically showered with them. It's good to keep this in mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius
