More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee, what can these things do to prevent thy mind from remaining pure, wise, sober, just?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is a kind of river, an irresistible flood sweeping up men and events and carrying them headlong, one after the other, to the great sea of being.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.
Marcus Aurelius

Think nothing profitable to you which compels you to break a promise, to lose your self respect, to hate any person, to curse, to act the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
There is a limit circumscribed to your time – if you do not use it to clear away your clouds, it will be gone, and you will be gone, and the opportunity will not return
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The world is nothing but change, our life is only perception.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that dies in extreme old age will be reduced to the same state with him that is cut down untimely.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Praise adds nothing to beauty--makes it neither better nor worse.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your task is to stand straight not to be held straight.
Marcus Aurelius
