Marcus Aurelius
Image
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

Marcus Aurelius

Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.

Because your own strength is unequal to a task, do not assume it is beyond the powers of man.
Marcus Aurelius

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your life is an expression of all your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
