More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
The true joy of humankind is in doing that which is most proper to our nature and the first property of people is to be kindly affected towards them that are of one kind with ourselves.
Marcus Aurelius
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
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Marcus Aurelius
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.
Marcus Aurelius
Praise adds nothing to beauty--makes it neither better nor worse.
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
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
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it
Marcus Aurelius
Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.
Marcus Aurelius
...small too even the longest fame thereafter, which is itself subject to a succession of little men who quickly die, and have no knowledge of themselves, let alone of those long dead.
Marcus Aurelius
When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstance revert at once to yourself and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of harmony if you keep going back to it.
Marcus Aurelius
Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius
Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Failure to read what is happening in another's soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.
Marcus Aurelius
Why should a man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution of all the elements? For it is according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
It is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
Marcus Aurelius
