You are making an inopportune...

You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Not to waste time on nonsense...

Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

I can at once become happy an...

I can at once become happy anywhere, for he is happy who has found himself a happy lot. In a word, happiness lies all in the functions of reason, in warrantable desires and virtuous practice.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Consider thyself to be dead, ...

Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time; and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A little time, and thou shalt...

A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes; and him who has attended thee to thy grave, another soon will lament.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Now departure from the world ...

Now departure from the world of men is nothing to fear, if gods exist: because they would not involve you in any harm. If they do not exist, or if they have no care for humankind, then what is life to me in a world devoid of gods, or devoid of providence? But they do exist, and they do care for humankind: and they have put it absolutely in man's power to avoid falling into the true kinds of harm.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The perfection of moral chara...

The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Either an ordered Universe or...

Either an ordered Universe or a medley heaped together mechanically but still an order; or can order subsist in you and disorder in the Whole! And that, too, when all things are so distinguished and yet intermingled and sympathetic.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Continuously thou wilt look a...

Continuously thou wilt look at human things as smoke and nothing at all; especially if thou reflectest at the same time, that what has once changed will never exist again in the infinite duration of time. But thou, in what a brief space of time is thy existence? And why art thou not content to pass through this short time in an orderly way?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Nature in no case cometh shor...

Nature in no case cometh short of art, for the arts are copiers of natural forms.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Just consider, my friend, whe...

Just consider, my friend, whether a pure spirit and virtue are anything other than saving your life and being saved. Perhaps we need to discard the idea of longevity and cease loving this life, instead committing these things to God and, believing that no one ever escapes destiny, to consider, with that in mind, how we may live the best possible life in the time that remains.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Neither in thy actions be slu...

Neither in thy actions be sluggish nor in thy conversation without method, nor wandering in thy thoughts, nor let there be in thy soul inward contention nor external effusion, nor in life be so busy as to have no leisure.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Let there be freedom from per...

Let there be freedom from perturbations with respect to the things which come from the external cause; and let there be justice in the things done by virtue of the internal cause, that is, let there be movement and action terminating in this, in social acts, for this is according to thy nature.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A rational nature admits of n...

A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Glory arrives too late when i...

Glory arrives too late when it comes only to one's ashes

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

All those things at which tho...

All those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything is born from chang...

Everything is born from change. ...there is nothing nature loves more that to alter what exists and make new things like it. All that exists is the seed of what will emerge from it. You think the only seeds are the one that make plants and children? Go deeper.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Our wills are ours, to make t...

Our wills are ours, to make them Thine.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Am I doing anything? I do it ...

Am I doing anything? I do it with reference to the good of mankind. Does anything happen to me? I receive it and refer it to the gods, and the source of all things, from which all that happens is derived.
