More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.
Marcus Aurelius
The true joy of humankind is in doing that which is most proper to our nature and the first property of people is to be kindly affected towards them that are of one kind with ourselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.
Marcus Aurelius
Love the people with whom fate brings you together
Marcus Aurelius
It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
Marcus Aurelius
But if we judge only those things which are in our power to be good or bad, there remains no reason either for finding fault with God or standing in a hostile attitude to man.
Marcus Aurelius
Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.
Marcus Aurelius
To expect an impossibility is madness.
Marcus Aurelius
You are a little soul bearing about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say.
Marcus Aurelius
If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
Marcus Aurelius
I consist of a little body and a soul.
Marcus Aurelius
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.
Marcus Aurelius
Dig within. There lies the wellspring of good.
Marcus Aurelius
Receive without conceit, release without struggle.
Marcus Aurelius
From the philosopher Catulus, never to be dismissive of a friend's accusation, even if it seems unreasonable, but to make every effort to restore the relationship to its normal condition.
Marcus Aurelius
How very near us stand the two vast gulfs of time, the past and the future, in which all things disappear.
Marcus Aurelius
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
A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius
