Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations
Marcus Aurelius

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
There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
The main thing we were made for is to work with others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
... Allow yourself a space of quiet, wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Guard also against another kind of error: the folly of those who weary their days in much business, but lack any aim on which their whole effort, nay, their whole thought, is focused.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The intelligence of the universe is social.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Which is recorded of Socrates, that he was able both to abstain from, and to enjoy, those things which many are too weak to abstain from, and cannot enjoy without excess. But to be strong enough both to bear the one and to be sober in the other is the mark of a man who has a perfect and invincible soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.
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
A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
Marcus Aurelius
