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.

Body. Soul. Mind. Sensations: the body. Desires: the soul. Reasoning: the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land the only lasting fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
