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 881 quotes

Thou seest how few be the thi...

Thou seest how few be the things, the which if a man has at his command his life flows gently on and is divine.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is a shameful thing for the soul to faint while the body still perseveres.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The gods gave me a father who...

The gods gave me a father who ruled over me and rid me of any trace of arrogance and showed me that one can live in a palace without bodyguards, extravagant attire, chandeliers, statues, and other luxuries. He taught me that it is possible to live instead pretty much in the manner of a private citizen without losing any of the dignity and authority a ruler must possess to discharge his imperial duties effectively.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Once you have done a man a se...

Once you have done a man a service, what more reward would you have? Is it not enough to have obeyed the laws of your own nature, without expecting to be paid for it?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The earth loveth the shower," and "the holy ?ther knoweth what love is." The Universe, too, loves to create whatsoever is destined to be made.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In one way an arrow moves, in...

In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is not the weight of the f...

It is not the weight of the future or the past that is pressing upon you, but ever that of the present alone. Even this burden, too, can be lessened if you confine it strictly to its own limits.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Time is like a river made up ...

Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

All things are in the act of ...

All things are in the act of change; thou thyself in ceaseless transformation and partial decay, and the whole universe with thee.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Nothing happens to any man wh...

Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by nature to bear. The same things happen to another, and either because he does not see that they have happened or because he would show a great spirit he is firm and remains unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance and conceit should be stronger than wisdom.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When forced, as it seems, by ...

When forced, as it seems, by your environment to be utterly disquieted, return with all speed into your self, staying in discord no longer than you must. By constant recurrence to the harmony, you will gain more command over it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

All things are changing; and ...

All things are changing; and thou thyself art in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction and the whole universe to.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Take care that you entertain ...

Take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Doctors keep their scalpels a...

Doctors keep their scalpels and other instruments handy, for emergencies. Keep your philosophy ready too - ready to understand heaven and earth. In everything you do, even the smallest thing, remember the chain that links them. Nothing earthly succeeds by ignoring heaven, nothing heavenly by ignoring earth.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

This thou must always bear in...

This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole, and what is my nature, and how this is related to that, and what kind of a part it is of what kind of a whole; and that there is no one who hinders thee from always doing and saying the things which are according to the nature of which thou art a part.

It is satisfaction to a man to do the proper works of a man.
