Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.
Marcus Aurelius

Blot out vain pomp check impulse quench appetite keep reason under its own control.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
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
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
Image
Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The stream of tendency in which all things seek to fulfill the law of their being.
Marcus Aurelius
