Image
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is banal in experience, fleeting in duration, sordid in content in all respects the same today as generations now dead and buried have found it to be.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole contains nothing which is not or its advantage and all natures indeed have this common principle, but the nature of the universe has this principle besides, that it cannot be compelled even by any external cause to generate anything harmful to itself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is a shame for the soul to be first to give way in this life, when thy body does not give way.
Marcus Aurelius

A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius

In an expression of true gratitude, sadness is conspicuous only by its absence
Marcus Aurelius

Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius
Image
When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself, and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over your own harmony by continually returning to it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everywhere and at all times it is in thy power piously to acquiesce in thy present condition, and to behave justly to those who are about thee, and to exert thy skill upon thy present thoughts, that nothing shall steal into them without being well examined.
Marcus Aurelius
