More quotes by Marcus Aurelius
A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
Marcus Aurelius
Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it--turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal.
Marcus Aurelius
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.
Marcus Aurelius
Your manners will depend very much upon the quality of what you frequently think on for the soul is as it were tinged with the colour and complexion of thought.
Marcus Aurelius
Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.
Marcus Aurelius

The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly, And be patience with those who don't.
Marcus Aurelius
Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
Marcus Aurelius
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Think nothing profitable to you which compels you to break a promise, to lose your self respect, to hate any person, to curse, to act the hypocrite.
Marcus Aurelius
Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.
Marcus Aurelius
Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their mind.
Marcus Aurelius
The best way of avenging thyself is not to become like the wrong-doer.
Marcus Aurelius
That which is really beautiful has no need of anything not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.
Marcus Aurelius
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Without a purpose, nothing should be done.
Marcus Aurelius
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
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
