More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
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
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.
Marcus Aurelius
Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.
Marcus Aurelius
Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing is worth doing pointlessly.
Marcus Aurelius
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.
Marcus Aurelius
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
Marcus Aurelius
I, who have never willfully pained another, have no business to pain myself.
Marcus Aurelius
Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.
Marcus Aurelius
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
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
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered, but wish all reasonable beings to be made like themselves and... rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree is a fig-tree, and that what does the work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is a man.
Marcus Aurelius
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.
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
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence.
Marcus Aurelius
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
