The greatest part of what we s...

The greatest part of what we say and do is really unnecessary. If a man takes this to heart, he will have more leisure and less uneasiness.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If any man despises me, that i...

If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The offender needs pity, not w...

The offender needs pity, not wrath; those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness; and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Let every action aim solely at the common good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.

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

Be not disgusted, nor discoura...

Be not disgusted, nor discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles; but when thou bast failed, return back again, and be content if the greater part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature, and love this to which thou returnest

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Cultivate these, then, for they are wholly within your power: sincerity and dignity; industriousness; and sobriety. Avoid grumbling, be frugal, considerate, and frank; be temperate in manner and speech; carry yourself with authority.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A little flesh, a little breath, and a Reason to rule all - that is myself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Take me and cast me where you ...

Take me and cast me where you will; I shall still be possessor of the divinity within me, serene and content.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As surgeons keep their instrum...

As surgeons keep their instruments and knives always at hand for cases requiring immediate treatment, so shouldst thou have thy thoughts ready to understand things divine and human, remembering in thy every act, even the smallest, how close is the bond that unites the two.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Do not fear death, but welcome...

Do not fear death, but welcome it, since it too comes from nature. For just as we are young and grow old, and flourish and reach maturity, have teeth and a beard and grey hairs, conceive, become pregnant, and bring forth new life, and all the other natural processes that follow the seasons of our existence, so also do we have death. A thoughtful person will never take death lightly, impatiently, or scornfully, but will wait for it as one of life's natural processes.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How soon will time cover all t...

How soon will time cover all things.

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

Death smiles at us all, all a ...

Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be cheerful, also, and seek no...

Be cheerful, also, and seek not external help, nor the peace which others give. A man must stand straight, and not be kept straight by others.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Consider when thou art much ve...

Consider when thou art much vexed or grieved, that man's life is only a moment, and after a short time we are all laid out dead.
