More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Doctors keep their scalpels and other instruments handy, for emergencies. Keep your philosophy ready too - ready to understand heaven and earth. In everything you do, even the smallest thing, remember the chain that links them. Nothing earthly succeeds by ignoring heaven, nothing heavenly by ignoring earth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A person's life is what their thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He that lives alone lives in danger society avoids many dangers.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All is as thinking makes it so
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
Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
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
Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the case of all things which have a certain constitution, whatever harm may happen to any of them, that which is affected becomes consequently worse but in like case, a man becomes both better... and more worthy of praise, by making the right use of these accidents.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.
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 whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A good disposition is invincible, if it be genuine.
Marcus Aurelius
