Marcus Aurelius

To expect an impossibility is madness.

My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.
Marcus Aurelius

You need to be prepared for firm decisions and action, without losing gentleness towards those who obstruct or abuse you. It's as great a weakness to be angry with them as it is to abandon your plan of action and give up through fear.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.
Marcus Aurelius

Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a shame for the soul to be first to give way in this life, when thy body does not give way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your task is to stand straight not to be held straight.
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
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
