Your manners will depend very much upon the quality of what you frequently think on for the soul is as it were tinged with the colour and complexion of thought.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
