Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death, like birth, is one of nature's mysteries, the combining of primal elements and dissolving of the same into the same.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.
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

Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It's normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if you're using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he's living a normal life. And if it's normal, how can it be bad?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.
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
There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The nature of the All moved to make the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are distressed by something, it is due to your own estimate of it and you have the power to change it at will.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Man must be arched and buttressed from within, else the temple wavers to the dust.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around. That's all you need to know.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To her who gives and takes back all, to nature, the man who is instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt take back what thou wilt. And he says this not proudly, but obediently and well pleased with her.
Marcus Aurelius
