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.

More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
I consist of a little body and a soul.
Marcus Aurelius
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Things themselves cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree, nor have they admission to the soul nor can they turn or move the soul: it turns and moves itself alone and whatever judgment it may think proper to make, such it makes by remaking for itself the things that present themselves to it
Marcus Aurelius
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.
Marcus Aurelius
The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.
Marcus Aurelius
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Marcus Aurelius
So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.
Marcus Aurelius
He who pays no attention to what his neighbor does, says or thinks, preferring to concentrate on making his own actions appropriate and justifiable, better uses his time.
Marcus Aurelius
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond so is the whole universe.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Because your own strength is unequal to a task, do not assume it is beyond the powers of man.
Marcus Aurelius
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
Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
Marcus Aurelius
Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.
Marcus Aurelius
I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception
Marcus Aurelius
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
If I and my two children cannot move the gods, the gods must have their reasons.
Marcus Aurelius
What we do now echoes in eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
