Image
Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The true joy of humankind is in doing that which is most proper to our nature and the first property of people is to be kindly affected towards them that are of one kind with ourselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
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
Image
When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is the act of a madman to pursue impossibilities .
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let there be freedom from perturbations with respect to the things which come from the external cause and let there be justice in the things done by virtue of the internal cause, that is, let there be movement and action terminating in this, in social acts, for this is according to thy nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.
Marcus Aurelius
