A lucky chance is constant in nothing but inconstancy.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Outward objects cannot take h...

Outward objects cannot take hold of the soul, nor force their passage into her, nor set any of her wheels going. No, the impression comes from herself, and it is her own motions which affect her. As for the contingencies of fortune, they are either great or little, according to the opinion she has of her own strength.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Death, like birth, is one of ...

Death, like birth, is one of nature's mysteries, the combining of primal elements and dissolving of the same into the same.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How barbarous, to deny men th...

How barbarous, to deny men the privilege of pursuing what they imagine to be their proper concerns and interests! Yet, in a sense, this is just what you are doing when you allow your indignation to rise at their wrongdoing; for after all, they are only following their own apparent concerns and interests. You say they are mistaken? Why then, tell them so, and explain it to them, instead of being indignant.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose; and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

He who flies from his master ...

He who flies from his master is a runaway; but the law is master, and he who breaks the law is a runaway. And he also who is grieved or angry or afraid, is dissatisfied because something has been or is or shall be of the things which are appointed by Him who rules all things, and He is Law, and assigns to every man what is fit. He then who fears or is grieved or is angry is a runaway.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Because a thing is difficult ...

Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When you find an unwillingnes...

When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning, make this short speech to yourself: I am getting up now to do the business of a man; and am I out of humour for going about that I was made for, and for the sake of which I was sent into the world? Was I then designed for nothing but to doze and keep warm beneath the counterpane? Well! but this is a comfortable way of living.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The cucumber is bitter? Then t...

The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around them. That's all you need to know. Nothing more. Don't demand to know 'why such things exist.' Anyone who understands the world will laugh at you, just as a carpenter would if you seemed shocked at finding sawdust in his workshop, or a shoemaker at scraps of leather left over from work.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

People exist for one another....

People exist for one another.

Enter others' minds and let them enter yours.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If it's in your control, why do you do it? If it's in someone else's control, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way. Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything is here for a purpo...

Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, 'I have a purpose,' and the other goods as well.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Don't let your imagination to ...

Don't let your imagination to be crushed by life as a whole. Don't try to pictures everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand. ...Then remind yourself that past and present have no power over you. Only the present.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Each of us needs what nature gives us, when nature gives us.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is the duty of men to love even those who injure them.

Everything is but what we think it.

This is the mark of a perfect character - to pass through each day as though it were the last, without agitation, without torpor, and without pretense.
