More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.
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 is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How soon will time cover all things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Hast thou reason? I have. Why then dost not thou use it? For if this does its own work, what else dost thou wish?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that there is a God who desires neither praise nor glory from men created in his image, but rather that they, guided by the understanding given them, should in their actions become like unto him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly, And be patience with those who don't.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live each day as if it be your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is banal in experience, fleeting in duration, sordid in content in all respects the same today as generations now dead and buried have found it to be.
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
If this is neither my own badness, nor an effect of my own badness, and the common weal is not injured, why am I troubled about it? And what is the harm to the common weal?
Marcus Aurelius
