Marcus Aurelius

If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius

Men exist for the sake of one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
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
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
Marcus Aurelius
