Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Where any work can be done conformably to the reason which is common to gods and men, there we have nothing to fear; for where we are able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful and proceeds according to our constitution, there no harm is to be suspected.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Live with the gods. And he do...

Live with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Observe and contemplate on th...

Observe and contemplate on the hidden things of life: how a man's seed is but the beginning, it takes others to bring it to fruition. Think how food undergoes such changes to produce health and strength. See the power of these hidden things which, like the wind cannot been seen, but its effects can be.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Observe the movements of the ...

Observe the movements of the stars as if you were running their courses with them, and let your mind constantly dwell on the changes of the elements into each other. Such imaginings wash away the filth of life on the ground.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

...the sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Failure to read what is happe...

Failure to read what is happening in another's soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Always take the short cut; an...

Always take the short cut; and that is the rational one. Therefore say and do everything according to soundest reason.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thyself art in everlasting change and in corruption to correspond; so is the whole universe.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.

Misfortune nobly born is good...

Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If souls survive death for al...

If souls survive death for all eternity, how can the heavens hold them all? Or for that matter, how can the earth hold all the bodies that have been buried in it? The answers are the same. Just as on earth, with the passage of time, decaying and transmogrified corpses make way for the newly dead, so souls released into the heavens, after a season of flight, begin to break up, burn, and be absorbed back into the womb of reason, leaving room for souls just beginning to fly. This is the answer for those who believe that souls survive death.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Our inward power, when it obe...

Our inward power, when it obeys nature, reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces - to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aims as circumstances allow; it turns obstacles into fuel. As a fire overwhelms what would have quenched a lamp. What's thrown on top of the conflagration is absorbed, consumed by it - and makes it burn still higher.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Suppose that men kill thee, c...

Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee, what can these things do to prevent thy mind from remaining pure, wise, sober, just?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The universe is in change, li...

The universe is in change, life is an opinion.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How many after being celebrated by fame have been given up to oblivion; and how many who have celebrated the fame of others have long been dead.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything harmonizes with me...

Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

He who follows reason in all ...

He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected.
