More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
It is a shame for the soul to be first to give way in this life, when thy body does not give way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
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
Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, I have a purpose, and the other goods as well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Time is a kind of river, an irresistible flood sweeping up men and events and carrying them headlong, one after the other, to the great sea of being.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Why should a man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution of all the elements? For it is according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according to nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for cooperation
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Treat with utmost respect your power of forming opinions, for this power alone guards you against making assumptions that are contrary to nature and judgments that overthrow the rule of reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It's normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if you're using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he's living a normal life. And if it's normal, how can it be bad?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Embellish the soul with simplicity, with prudence, and everything which is neither virtuous nor vicious. Love all men. Walk according to God for, as a poet hath said, his laws govern all.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All those [events in history] were such dramas as we see now, only with different actors.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
