More quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Image
Nature set a limit on sleep - as it did on eating and drinking. And youre over the limit. But not of working. There youre still below your quota. You dont love yourself enough. Or youd love your nature too and what it demands of you. People who love what they do wear themselves down doing it. They even forget to wash and eat.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.
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
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
Image
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
And in the case of superior things like stars, we discover a kind of unity in separation. The higher we rise on the scale of being, the easier it is to discern a connection even among things separated by vast distances.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there - if he will - he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
What we cannot bear removes us from life what remains can be borne.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for cooperation
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All those [events in history] were such dramas as we see now, only with different actors.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your task is to stand straight not to be held straight.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The offender needs pity, not wrath those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'
Marcus Aurelius
Image
This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole.
Marcus Aurelius
