The true joy of humankind is ...

The true joy of humankind is in doing that which is most proper to our nature; and the first property of people is to be kindly affected towards them that are of one kind with ourselves.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As the same fire assumes diff...

As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

I search after truth, by whic...

I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Remember that even if you wer...

Remember that even if you were to live for three thousand years, or thirty thousand, you could not lose any other life than the one you have, and there will be no other life after it. So the longest and the shortest lives are the same. The present moment is shared by all living creatures, but the time that is past is gone forever. No one can lose the past or the future, for if they don't belong to you, how can they be taken from you?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Reflect frequently upon the i...

Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work; it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

What use do I put my soul to?...

What use do I put my soul to? It is a serviceable question this, and should frequently be put to oneself. How does my ruling part stand affected? And whose soul have I now? That of a child, or a young man, or a feeble woman, or of a tyrant, of cattle or wild beasts.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

You exist but as a part inher...

You exist but as a part inherent in a greater whole. Do not live as though you had a thousand years before you. The common due impends; while you live, and while you may, be good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Turn thy thoughts now to the ...

Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

We must press on then, in has...

We must press on then, in haste; not simply because every hour brings us nearer to death, but because even before then our powers of perception and comprehension begin to deteriorate.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In death, Alexander of Macedo...

In death, Alexander of Macedon's end differed no whit from his stable-boy's. Either both were received into the same generative principle of the universe, or both alike were dispersed into atoms.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The longest-lived and the sho...

The longest-lived and the shortest-lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Rememberest the gods, and tha...

Rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered, but wish all reasonable beings to be made like themselves; and... rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree is a fig-tree, and that what does the work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is a man.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

To a rational being it is the same thing to act according to nature and according to reason.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Men exist for each other. The...

Men exist for each other. Then either improve them, or put up with them.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The universal nature out of t...

The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now molds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

My only fear is doing somethi...

My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Depart then satisfied, for he also who releases thee is satisfied.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Pass then through this little...

Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be not unwilling in what thou...

Be not unwilling in what thou doest, neither selfish nor unadvised nor obstinate; let not over-refinement deck out thy thought; be not wordy nor a busybody.
