Image
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself whosoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The intelligence of the universe is social.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly, And be patience with those who don't.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature set a limit on sleep - as it did on eating and drinking. And youre over the limit. But not of working. There youre still below your quota. You dont love yourself enough. Or youd love your nature too and what it demands of you. People who love what they do wear themselves down doing it. They even forget to wash and eat.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning, when you are sluggish about getting up, let this thought be present: 'I am rising to a man's work.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People exist for one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
Marcus Aurelius
