A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If I and my two children cannot move the gods, the gods must have their reasons.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe constantly that all things take place by change.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My city and state are Rome. But as a human being? The world. So for me, good can only mean what's good for both communities.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who pays no attention to what his neighbor does, says or thinks, preferring to concentrate on making his own actions appropriate and justifiable, better uses his time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You need to be prepared for firm decisions and action, without losing gentleness towards those who obstruct or abuse you. It's as great a weakness to be angry with them as it is to abandon your plan of action and give up through fear.
Marcus Aurelius
