Marcus Aurelius Quotes

Remind oneself continually of one of those who practiced virtue in days gone by Picture Quote #1

Look deeply. Don’t miss the inherent quality and value of everything Picture Quote #1

Whatever may happen to thee, it was prepared for thee from all eternity Picture Quote #1

Nothing happens to any thing which that thing is not made by nature to bear Picture Quote #1

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart Picture Quote #1

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also Picture Quote #1

Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie Picture Quote #1

If souls survive death for all eternity, how can the heavens hold them all? Or for that matter, how can the earth hold all the bodies that have been buried in it? The answers are the same. Just as on earth, with the passage of time, decaying and transmogrified corpses make way for the newly dead, so souls released into the heavens, after a season of flight, begin to break up, burn, and be absorbed back into the womb of reason, leaving room for souls just beginning to fly. This is the answer for those who believe that souls survive death Picture Quote #1

Pray look upon the plants and birds, the ants, spiders, and bees, and you will see them all exerting their nature, and busy in their station. Pray, shall not a man act like a man? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning, make this short speech to yourself: I am getting up now to do the business of a man; and am I out of humour for going about that I was made for, and for the sake of which I was sent into the world? Was I then designed for nothing but to doze and keep warm beneath the counterpane? Well! but this is a comfortable way of living Picture Quote #1

Nature in no case cometh short of art, for the arts are copiers of natural forms Picture Quote #1

Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already Picture Quote #1

Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing Picture Quote #1

How many together with whom I came into the world are already gone out of it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just Picture Quote #1

He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad Picture Quote #1

Vex not thy spirit at the course of things; they heed not thy vexation. How ludicrous and outlandish is astonishment at anything that may happen in life Picture Quote #1

I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass Picture Quote #1

Change your attitude to the things that bother you and you will be aware of them Picture Quote #1

Always bear this in mind, that very little indeed is necessary for living a happy life Picture Quote #1

Short is the little time which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain Picture Quote #1

Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about Picture Quote #1

Cultivate these, then, for they are wholly within your power: sincerity and dignity; industriousness; and sobriety. Avoid grumbling, be frugal, considerate, and frank; be temperate in manner and speech; carry yourself with authority Picture Quote #1

Do not fear death, but welcome it, since it too comes from nature. For just as we are young and grow old, and flourish and reach maturity, have teeth and a beard and grey hairs, conceive, become pregnant, and bring forth new life, and all the other natural processes that follow the seasons of our existence, so also do we have death. A thoughtful person will never take death lightly, impatiently, or scornfully, but will wait for it as one of life’s natural processes Picture Quote #1

When you need encouragement, think of the qualities the people around you have: this one’s energy, that one’s modesty, another’s generosity, and so on. Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we’re practically showered with them. It’s good to keep this in mind Picture Quote #1

Shame on the soul, to falter on the road of life while the body still perseveres Picture Quote #1
