Nature which governs the whol...

Nature which governs the whole will soon change all things which you see, and out of their substance will make other things and again other things... in order that the world may be ever new.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Anything that is beautiful is...

Anything that is beautiful is beautiful just as it is. Praise forms no part of its beauty, since praise makes things neither better nor worse. This applies even more to what it commonly called beautiful: natural objects, for example, or works of art. True beauty has no need of anything beyond itself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

And finally remember that not...

And finally remember that nothing harms him who is really a citizen, which does not harm the state; nor yet does anything harm the state which does not harm law [order]; and of these things which are called misfortunes not one harms law. What then does not harm law does not harm either state or citizen.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Whatever anyone does or says,...

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my colour.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In the morning, when you are sluggish about getting up, let this thought be present: 'I am rising to a man's work.'

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Does a man shrink from change...

Does a man shrink from change? Why, what can come into being save by change?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Think on this doctrine, - tha...

Think on this doctrine, - that reasoning beings were created for one another's sake; that to be patient is a branch of justice, and that men sin without intending it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

From my grandfather's father,...

From my grandfather's father, I learned to dispense with attendance at public schools, and to enjoy good teachers at home, and to recognize that on such things money should be eagerly spent.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

To her who gives and takes ba...

To her who gives and takes back all, to nature, the man who is instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt; take back what thou wilt. And he says this not proudly, but obediently and well pleased with her.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In the same degree in which a...

In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

No state sorrier than that of...

No state sorrier than that of the man who keeps up a continual round, and pries into "the secrets of the nether world," as saith the poet, and is curious in conjecture of what is in his neighbour's heart.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In reading and writing, you cannot lay down rules until you have learnt to obey them. Much more so in life.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How many together with whom I...

How many together with whom I came into the world are already gone out of it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If man reflects on the change...

If man reflects on the changes and transformations which follow one another like wave after wave and their rapidity, he will despise everything which is perishable.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man should be upright, not ...

A man should be upright, not kept upright.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When you have done a good dee...

When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

People who labor all their li...

People who labor all their lives but have no purpose to direct every thought and impulse toward are wasting their time-even when hard at work.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Do you see what little is req...

Do you see what little is required of a man to live a well-tempered and god-fearing life? Obey these precepts, and the gods will ask nothing more.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

There is a limit circumscribed to your time – if you do not use it to clear away your clouds, it will be gone, and you will be gone, and the opportunity will not return

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

He who fears death either fea...

He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm; and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.
