Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Turn thy thoughts now to the ...

Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

We must press on then, in has...

We must press on then, in haste; not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In death, Alexander of Macedo...

In death, Alexander of Macedon's end differed no whit from his stable-boy's. Either both were received into the same generative principle of the universe, or both alike were dispersed into atoms.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The longest-lived and the sho...

The longest-lived and the shortest-lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Rememberest the gods, and tha...

Rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered, but wish all reasonable beings to be made like themselves; and... rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree is a fig-tree, and that what does the work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is a man.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

To a rational being it is the...

To a rational being it is the same thing to act according to nature and according to reason.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

God sees the minds (ruling pr...

God sees the minds (ruling principles) of all men bared of the material vesture and rind and impurities. For with his intellectual part alone he touches the intelligence only which has flowed and been derived from himself into these bodies. And if thou also usest thyself to do this, thou wilt rid thyself of thy much trouble. For he who regards not the poor flesh which envelops him, surely will not trouble himself by looking after raiment and dwelling and fame and such like externals and show.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Vex not thy spirit at the cou...

Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be not as one that hath ten t...

Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live; death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

I am called to man's labour; ...

I am called to man's labour; why then do I make a difficulty if I am going out to do what I was born to do and what I was brought into the world for?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Why should any of these thing...

Why should any of these things that happen externally distract thee? Give thyself leisure to learn some good thing: cease roving to and fro.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As surgeons keep their instru...

As surgeons keep their instruments and knives always at hand for cases requiring immediate treatment, so shouldst thou have thy thoughts ready to understand things divine and human, remembering in thy every act, even the smallest, how close is the bond that unites the two.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As for others whose lives are...

As for others whose lives are not so ordered, he reminds himself constantly of the characters they exhibit daily and nightly at home and abroad, and of the sort of society they frequent; and the approval of such men, who do not even stand well in their own eyes, has no value for him.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Every soul, the philosopher s...

Every soul, the philosopher says, is involuntarily deprived of truth; consequently in the same way it is deprived of justice and temperance and benevolence and everything of the kind. It is most necessary to keep this in mind, for thus thou wilt be more gentle towards all.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is a base thing for the co...

It is a base thing for the countenance to be obedient and to regulate and compose itself as the mind commands, and for the mind not to be regulated and composed by itself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In this flowing stream, then,...

In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Reason and the reasoning facu...

Reason and the reasoning faculty need no foreign assistance, but are sufficient for their own purposes. They move within themselves, and make directly for the point in view. Wherefore, acts in accordance with them are called right acts, for they lead along the right road.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Spend your brief moment accor...

Spend your brief moment according to nature's law, and serenely greet the journey's end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.

As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value
