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

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

Marcus Aurelius
Image
What does not benefit the hive is no benefit to the bee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The greatest part of what we say and do is really unnecessary. If a man takes this to heart, he will have more leisure and less uneasiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Imagine you were now dead, or had not lived before his moment. Now view the rest of your life as a bonus.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that there is a God who desires neither praise nor glory from men created in his image, but rather that they, guided by the understanding given them, should in their actions become like unto him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.

Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground.
Marcus Aurelius
