More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Things themselves cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree, nor have they admission to the soul nor can they turn or move the soul: it turns and moves itself alone and whatever judgment it may think proper to make, such it makes by remaking for itself the things that present themselves to it
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
No one loses any other life than the one he now lives, nor does one live any other life than that which he will lose.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.
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
Men despise one another and flatter one another and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Nature insists on whatever benefits the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not suffer a sudden impression to overbear your judgment.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your task is to stand straight not to be held straight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Sweep me up and send me where you please. For there I will retain my spirit, tranquil and content, as long as it can feel and act in harmony with its own nature. Is a change of place enough reason for my soul to become unhappy and worn, for me to become depressed, humbled, cowering, and afraid? Can you discover any reasons for this?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land but the fame that comes after is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The one thing worth living for is to keep one's soul pure.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I will march on in the path of nature till my legs sink under me, and then I shall be at rest, and expire into that air which has given me my daily breath.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason and to be always the same, in sharp pains, on the occasion of the loss of a child, and in long illness.
Marcus Aurelius
