More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Pray look upon the plants and birds, the ants, spiders, and bees, and you will see them all exerting their nature, and busy in their station. Pray, shall not a man act like a man?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things can never touch the soul, but stand inert outside it, so that disquiet can arise only from fancies within.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not waste what remains of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benefit. To wonder what so-and-so is doing and why, or what he is saying, or thinking, or scheming -- in a word, anything that distracts you from fidelity to the ruler within you -- means a loss of opportunity for some other task.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When pain is unbearable it destroys us when it does not it is bearable.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.
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
