More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.
Marcus Aurelius
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius
The most complete revenge is not to imitate the aggressor.
Marcus Aurelius
Your life is an expression of all your thoughts.
