Quote

It is right that man should love those who have offended him. He will do so when he remembers that all men are his relations, and that it is through ignorance and involuntarily that they sin,--and then we all die so soon.

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
It's normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if you're using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he's living a normal life. And if it's normal, how can it be bad?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Yet living and dying, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. Things like these neither elevate nor degrade and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let no act be done without purpose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one can lose either the past or the future - how could anyone be deprived of what he does not possess? ... It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived: and if this is all he has, he cannot lose what he does not have.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The most complete revenge is not to imitate the aggressor.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This is enough. Do not add, And why were such things made in the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one wearies of benefits received.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.
Marcus Aurelius
