Image
Live each day as if it be your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He does not write at all whose poems no man reads
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 a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Light may earth's crumbling sand be laid on thee, that dogs may dig thy bones up easily
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself whosoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that I am rising for the work of man.
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
Death and life, success and failure, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, all these happen to good and bad alike, and they are neither noble nor shameful - and hence neither good nor bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The sinner sins against himself the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.
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
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
I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How very near us stand the two vast gulfs of time, the past and the future, in which all things disappear.
Marcus Aurelius
