More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Run down the list of those who felt intense anger at something: the most famous, the most unfortunate, the most hated, the most whatever: Where is all that now? Smoke, dust, legend...or not even a legend. Think of all the examples. And how trivial the things we want so passionately are.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is a limit circumscribed to your time – if you do not use it to clear away your clouds, it will be gone, and you will be gone, and the opportunity will not return
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
One universe made up all that is and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All is as thinking makes it so
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The main thing we were made for is to work with others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am called to man's labour why then do I make a difficulty if I am going out to do what I was born to do and what I was brought into the world for?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.
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
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius
