Marcus Aurelius

As for others whose lives are not so ordered, he reminds himself constantly of the characters they exhibit daily and nightly at home and abroad, and of the sort of society they frequent and the approval of such men, who do not even stand well in their own eyes, has no value for him.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.
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
The universe is a single life comprising one substance and one soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
