When men hate or blame you, o...

When men hate or blame you, or say hurtful things about you, look deeply into their hearts and see what kind of men they are. You'll see how unnecessary it is to strain after their good opinion. Yet you must still think kindly of them. they are your neighbors. The gods help them as they do you, by dreams and oracles, to win their hearts' desires.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Yet living and dying, honour ...

Yet living and dying, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. Things like these neither elevate nor degrade; and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

You need to be prepared for f...

You need to be prepared for firm decisions and action, without losing gentleness towards those who obstruct or abuse you. It's as great a weakness to be angry with them as it is to abandon your plan of action and give up through fear.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be not disgusted, nor discour...

Be not disgusted, nor discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles; but when thou bast failed, return back again, and be content if the greater part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature, and love this to which thou returnest

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Frightened of change? But wha...

Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As thou thyself art a compone...

As thou thyself art a component part of a social system, so let every act of thine be a component part of social life. Whatever act of thine that has no reference, either immediately or remotely, to a social end, this tears asunder thy life, and does not allow it to be one, and it is of the nature of a mutiny, just as when in a popular assembly a man acting by himself stands apart from the general agreement.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Look within, for within is th...

Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

He who has seen present thing...

He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one form.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

No form of nature is inferior...

No form of nature is inferior to art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How powerful is man! He is ab...

How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

For a man can lose neither th...

For a man can lose neither the past nor the future; for how can one take from him that which is not his? So remember these two points: first, that each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle, and that it signifies not whether a man shall look upon the same things for a hundred years or two hundred, or for an infinity of time; second, that the longest lived and the shortest lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Consider frequently the conne...

Consider frequently the connection of all things in the universe and their relation to one another. For things are somehow implicated with one another, and all in a way friendly to one another.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is not fit that I should g...

It is not fit that I should give myself pain, for I have never intentionally given pain even to another.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Though you break your heart, ...

Though you break your heart, men will go on as before.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Neither worse then nor better...

Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The mind which is free from p...

The mind which is free from passions is a citadel, for man has nothing more secure to which he can fly for refuge and for the future be inexpugnable . He then who has not seen this is an ignorant man: but he who has seen it and does not fly to this refuge is unhappy.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Take the shortest route. The ...

Take the shortest route. The one that nature planned - to speak and act in the healthiest way. Do that, and be free of pain and stress, free of all calculations and pretension.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be mindful at all times of th...

Be mindful at all times of the following: the nature of the whole universe, the nature of the part that is me, the relation of the one to the other, the one so vast, the other so small.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Does the light of the lamp sh...

Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished; and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?
