More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so, but happy am I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
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
It is right that man should love those who have offended him. He will do so when he remembers that all men are his relations, and that it is through ignorance and involuntarily that they sin,--and then we all die so soon.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In an expression of true gratitude, sadness is conspicuous only by its absence
Marcus Aurelius

The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy.
Marcus Aurelius

It is the act of a madman to pursue impossibilities .
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If you separate from . . . everything you have done in the past, everything that disturbs you about the future . . . and apply yourself to living the life that you are living-that is to say, the present-you can live all the time that remains to you until your death in calm, benevolence, and serenity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The body of an actor can be either his best friend or his worst enemy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.
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
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
Spend your brief moment according to nature's law, and serenely greet the journey's end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.
Marcus Aurelius
