More quotes by 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
If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Spend your brief moment according to nature's law, and serenely greet the journey's end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Embellish the soul with simplicity, with prudence, and everything which is neither virtuous nor vicious. Love all men. Walk according to God for, as a poet hath said, his laws govern all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole, and what is my nature, and how this is related to that, and what kind of a part it is of what kind of a whole and that there is no one who hinders thee from always doing and saying the things which are according to the nature of which thou art a part.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The mind in itself wants nothing, unless it creates a want for itself therefore it is both free from perturbation and unimpeded, if it does not perturb and impede itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Change your attitude to the things that bother you and you will be aware of them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Without a purpose, nothing should be done.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
Marcus Aurelius
