Image
How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul, particularly when he has within him such thoughts that by looking into them he is immediately in perfect tranquility and I affirm that tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It doesn't hurt me unless I interpret its happening as harmful to me. I can choose not to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Because your own strength is unequal to a task, do not assume it is beyond the powers of man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death, like birth, is one of nature's mysteries, the combining of primal elements and dissolving of the same into the same.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Truth and ceremony are two things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself whosoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason and to be always the same, in sharp pains, on the occasion of the loss of a child, and in long illness.
Marcus Aurelius
