Which is recorded of Socrates...

Which is recorded of Socrates, that he was able both to abstain from, and to enjoy, those things which many are too weak to abstain from, and cannot enjoy without excess. But to be strong enough both to bear the one and to be sober in the other is the mark of a man who has a perfect and invincible soul.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Even while a thing is in the ...

Even while a thing is in the act of coming into existence, some part of it has already ceased to be.

Take it that you have died today, and your life's story is ended; and henceforward regard what future time may be given you as uncovenanted surplus, and live it out in harmony with nature.

Dig inside. Inside is the fountain of good, and it will forever flow, if you will forever dig.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

There is change in all things...

There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay, and this is common to the entire universe.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Forward, as occasion offers. ...

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Constantly regard the univers...

Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: "What is his point of reference here?" But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me. But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man should always have thes...

A man should always have these two rules in readiness. First, to do only what the reason of your ruling and legislating faculties suggest for the service of man. Second, to change your opinion whenever anyone at hand sets you right and unsettles you in an opinion, but this change of opinion should come only because you are persuaded that something is just or to the public advantage, not because it appears pleasant or increases your reputation.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Neither in writing nor in reading wilt thou be able to lay down rules for others before thou shalt have first learned to obey rules thyself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

We are born for cooperation, as are the feet, the hands, the eyelids, and the upper and lower jaws.

There is no man so blessed that some who stand by his deathbed won't hail the occasion with delight.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The healthy eye ought to see ...

The healthy eye ought to see all visible things and not to say, I wish for green things; for this is the condition of a diseased eye.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Let every action aim solely at the common good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Keep constantly in mind in how many things you yourself have witnessed changes already. The universe is change, life is understanding.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The blazing fire makes flames...

The blazing fire makes flames and brightness out of everything thrown into it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Most of what we say and do is...

Most of what we say and do is unnecessary: remove the superfluity, and you will have more time and less bother. So in every case one should prompt oneself: 'Is this, or is it not, something necessary?' And the removal of the unnecessary should apply not only to actions but to thoughts also: then no redundant actions either will follow.
