The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
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
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
Image
The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.
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
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
Image
Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both.
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
Run down the list of those who felt intense anger at something: the most famous, the most unfortunate, the most hated, the most whatever: Where is all that now? Smoke, dust, legend...or not even a legend. Think of all the examples. And how trivial the things we want so passionately are.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself, and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over your own harmony by continually returning to it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look deeply. Don't miss the inherent quality and value of everything.
Marcus Aurelius
