More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The universe is in change, life is an opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you separate from . . . everything you have done in the past, everything that disturbs you about the future . . . and apply yourself to living the life that you are living-that is to say, the present-you can live all the time that remains to you until your death in calm, benevolence, and serenity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are the other of the other
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
Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
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
To a rational being it is the same thing to act according to nature and according to reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is not right to vex ourselves at things, for they care not about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others, but presses unswervingly on towards his mark.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Leave the wrong done by another where the wrong arose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
Marcus Aurelius
