If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In an expression of true gratitude, sadness is conspicuous only by its absence
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius

Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Marcus Aurelius

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
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late the good lived yesterday.
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
Image
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature insists on whatever benefits the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
