Image
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are the other of the other
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The stone that is thrown into the air is none the worse for falling down, and none the better for going up.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
They know not how many things are signified by the words stealing, sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what ought to be done for this is not effected by the eyes, but by another kind of vision.
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
The main thing we were made for is to work with others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
When pain is unbearable it destroys us when it does not it is bearable.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Above, below, all around are the movements of the elements. But the motion of virtue is in none of these: it is something more divine, and advancing by a way hardly observed it goes happily on its road.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is mere opinion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for synergy, just like the feet, just like the hands, just like the eyes, just like the rows of upper and lower teeth. Working against each other is unnatural, and being annoyed and turning one's back is counterproductive.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men despise one another and flatter one another and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
...small too even the longest fame thereafter, which is itself subject to a succession of little men who quickly die, and have no knowledge of themselves, let alone of those long dead.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
