Marcus Aurelius

Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance and be ready to let it go.
Marcus Aurelius

Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility.
Marcus Aurelius

The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All that is harmony for you, my Universe, is in harmony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right time for you is too early or too late for me. Everything is fruit to me that your seasons bring, Nature. All things come of you, have their being in you, and return to you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
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
The things... which are proper to the understanding no other man is used to impede, for neither fire, nor iron, nor tyrant, nor abuse, touches it in any way. When it has been made a sphere, it continues a sphere.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We must press on then, in haste not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For any particular thing, ask: What is it in itself? What is its nature?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Receive without conceit, release without struggle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.
Marcus Aurelius
