More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.
Marcus Aurelius
It is not right to vex ourselves at things, for they care not about it.
Marcus Aurelius
The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?
Marcus Aurelius
Neither in writing nor in reading wilt thou be able to lay down rules for others before thou shalt have first learned to obey rules thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Since you are an integral part of a social system, let every act of yours contribute to the harmonization of social life. Any action that is not related directly or remotely to this social aim disturbs your life, and destroys your unity.
Marcus Aurelius
How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.
Marcus Aurelius
Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.
Marcus Aurelius
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.
Marcus Aurelius
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
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
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Marcus Aurelius
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end for all things are of one kin and of one form.
Marcus Aurelius
For outward show is a wonderful perverter of the reason.
Marcus Aurelius
