Short-lived are both the praiser and the praised, and rememberer and the remembered: and all this in a nook of this part of the world and not even here do all agree, no, not any one with himself: and the whole earth too is a point.

More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
All is as thinking makes it so
Marcus Aurelius
At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that I am rising for the work of man.
Marcus Aurelius
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
We must press on then, in haste not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.
Marcus Aurelius
If any man can convince me and bring home to me that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change for I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius
Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Time is a kind of river, an irresistible flood sweeping up men and events and carrying them headlong, one after the other, to the great sea of being.
Marcus Aurelius
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.
Marcus Aurelius
Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
Marcus Aurelius
Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.
Marcus Aurelius
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius
To a rational being it is the same thing to act according to nature and according to reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
He who pays no attention to what his neighbor does, says or thinks, preferring to concentrate on making his own actions appropriate and justifiable, better uses his time.
Marcus Aurelius
Hast thou reason? I have. Why then dost not thou use it? For if this does its own work, what else dost thou wish?
Marcus Aurelius
Man must be arched and buttressed from within, else the temple wavers to the dust.
Marcus Aurelius
The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Marcus Aurelius
