Image
If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death, like birth, is one of nature's mysteries, the combining of primal elements and dissolving of the same into the same.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt.
Marcus Aurelius

While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing - here is the perfection of character.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Remember that neither the future nor the past pains thee, but only the present. But this is reduced to a very little, if thou only circumscribest it, and chidest thy mind, if it is unable to hold out against even this.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Image
Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Adapt yourself to the life you have been given and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People exist for one another.
