More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in your power whenever you choose to retire into yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
What we do now echoes in eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.
Marcus Aurelius
Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.
Marcus Aurelius
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
The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.
Marcus Aurelius
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius
So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.
Marcus Aurelius
If any man should conceive certain things as being really good, such as prudence, temperance, justice, fortitude, he would not after having first conceived these endure to listen to anything which should not be in harmony with what is really good.
Marcus Aurelius
Things themselves cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree, nor have they admission to the soul nor can they turn or move the soul: it turns and moves itself alone and whatever judgment it may think proper to make, such it makes by remaking for itself the things that present themselves to it
Marcus Aurelius
Observe always that everything is the result of a change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to make new ones like them.
Marcus Aurelius
Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.
Marcus Aurelius
What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
Marcus Aurelius
Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.
Marcus Aurelius
A great estate is a great disadvantage to those who do not know how to use it, for nothing is more common than to see wealthy persons live scandalously and miserably riches do them no service in order to virtue and happiness therefore 'tis precept and principle, not an estate, that makes a man good for something.
Marcus Aurelius
The offender needs pity, not wrath those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'
Marcus Aurelius
The substance of the universe is obedient and compliant and the reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing evil, for it has no malice, nor does it do evil to anything, nor is anything harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according to this reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.
Marcus Aurelius
