Image
No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that neither the future nor the past pains thee, but only the present. But this is reduced to a very little, if thou only circumscribest it, and chidest thy mind, if it is unable to hold out against even this.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.
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
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
Image
Without a purpose, nothing should be done.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is banal in experience, fleeting in duration, sordid in content in all respects the same today as generations now dead and buried have found it to be.
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
To expect an impossibility is madness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Body. Soul. Mind. Sensations: the body. Desires: the soul. Reasoning: the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The inner master, when confronted with an obstacle, uses it as fuel, like a fire which consumes things that are thrown into it. A small lamp would be snuffed out, but a big fire will engulf what is thrown at it and burn hotter it consumes the obstacle and uses it to reach a higher level.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The substance of the universe is obedient and compliant and the reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing evil, for it has no malice, nor does it do evil to anything, nor is anything harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according to this reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
