More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius

Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.
Marcus Aurelius

Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.

Marcus Aurelius

Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Spend your brief moment according to nature's law, and serenely greet the journey's end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because other people are fools, must you be so too?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.
Marcus Aurelius
