Imagine you were now dead, or had not lived before his moment. Now view the rest of your life as a bonus.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered, but wish all reasonable beings to be made like themselves and... rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree is a fig-tree, and that what does the work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is a man.
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
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.
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
Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
