There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
He does not write at all whose poems no man reads
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
My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If any man should conceive certain things as being really good, such as prudence, temperance, justice, fortitude, he would not after having first conceived these endure to listen to anything which should not be in harmony with what is really good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Do not waste what remains of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benefit. To wonder what so-and-so is doing and why, or what he is saying, or thinking, or scheming -- in a word, anything that distracts you from fidelity to the ruler within you -- means a loss of opportunity for some other task.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
If I and my two children cannot move the gods, the gods must have their reasons.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your life is an expression of all your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
One universe made up all that is and one God in it all, and one principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures, and one truth.
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
Think of the universal substance, of which thou has a very small portion and of universal time, of which a short and indivisible interval has been assigned to thee and of that which is fixed by destiny, and how small a part of it thou art
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Live each day as if it be your last.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In an expression of true gratitude, sadness is conspicuous only by its absence
Marcus Aurelius
