Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee? (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and the unforeseen, and is not apt to fall (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
The honest and good man ought to be exactly like a man who smells strong, so that the bystander as soon as he comes near him must smell whether he choose or not (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me. But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
All men are made one for another: either then teach them better or bear with them (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly. What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Failure to read what is happening in another’s soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Everything is banal in experience, fleeting in duration, sordid in content; in all respects the same today as generations now dead and buried have found it to be (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds; for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Today I escaped all circumstance, or rather I cast out all circumstance, for it was not outside me, but within my judgements (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
A wrongdoer is often a man who has left something undone, not always one who has done something (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure fluctuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of their own free acts (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
It is a ridiculous thing for a man not to fly from his own badness, which is indeed possible, but to fly from other men’s badness, which is impossible (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize? (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence (Marcus Aurelius Quotes)
