Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men's badness, which is impossible.
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
Rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered, but wish all reasonable beings to be made like themselves and... rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree is a fig-tree, and that what does the work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is a man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.
Marcus Aurelius

The universe is in change, life is an opinion.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things can never touch the soul, but stand inert outside it, so that disquiet can arise only from fancies within.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Imagine you were now dead, or had not lived before his moment. Now view the rest of your life as a bonus.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All is as thinking makes it so
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How soon will time cover all things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning, when you are sluggish about getting up, let this thought be present: 'I am rising to a man's work.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.
Marcus Aurelius
