More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
I am called to man's labour why then do I make a difficulty if I am going out to do what I was born to do and what I was brought into the world for?
Marcus Aurelius
But if we judge only those things which are in our power to be good or bad, there remains no reason either for finding fault with God or standing in a hostile attitude to man.
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
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
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
From Alexander the Platonic, not frequently nor without necessity to say to any one, or to write in a letter, that I have no leisure nor continually to excuse the neglect of duties required by our relation to those with whom we live, by alleging urgent occupations.
Marcus Aurelius
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
Cultivate these, then, for they are wholly within your power: sincerity and dignity industriousness and sobriety. Avoid grumbling, be frugal, considerate, and frank be temperate in manner and speech carry yourself with authority.
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.
Marcus Aurelius
Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility.
Marcus Aurelius
Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius
Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.
Marcus Aurelius
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
Marcus Aurelius
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
