Image
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
Image
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
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
Look deeply. Don't miss the inherent quality and value of everything.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors.
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
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river the what is in constant flux, the why has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
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
When pain is unbearable it destroys us when it does not it is bearable.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The mind in itself wants nothing, unless it creates a want for itself therefore it is both free from perturbation and unimpeded, if it does not perturb and impede itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
One universe made up all that is and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All those [events in history] were such dramas as we see now, only with different actors.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A person's life is what their thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
