Image
Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?
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
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
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
Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee, what can these things do to prevent thy mind from remaining pure, wise, sober, just?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land the only lasting fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Neither in writing nor in reading wilt thou be able to lay down rules for others before thou shalt have first learned to obey rules thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things are in the act of change thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Why should any of these things that happen externally distract thee? Give thyself leisure to learn some good thing: cease roving to and fro.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature insists on whatever benefits the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things are changing and thou thyself art in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction and the whole universe to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.
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
Image
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For outward show is a wonderful perverter of the reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief
Marcus Aurelius
