Does the light of the lamp shi...

Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished; and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Enough of this wretched life a...

Enough of this wretched life and murmuring and apish tricks. Why art thou disturbed? What is there new in this? What unsettles thee? Is it the form of the thing? Look at it. Or is it the matter? Look at it. But besides these there is nothing. Towards the gods, then, now become at last more simple and better. It is the same whether we examine these things for a hundred years or three.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How many after being celebrate...

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

If any man has done wrong, the...

If any man has done wrong, the harm is his own. But perhaps he has not done wrong.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If any man should conceive cer...

If any man should conceive certain things as being really good, such as prudence, temperance, justice, fortitude, he would not after having first conceived these endure to listen to anything which should not be in harmony with what is really good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If this is neither my own badn...

If this is neither my own badness, nor an effect of my own badness, and the common weal is not injured, why am I troubled about it? And what is the harm to the common weal?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In one way an arrow moves, in ...

In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Men despise one another and fl...

Men despise one another and flatter one another; and men wish to raise themselves above one another, and crouch before one another.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Neither in thy actions be slug...

Neither in thy actions be sluggish nor in thy conversation without method, nor wandering in thy thoughts, nor let there be in thy soul inward contention nor external effusion, nor in life be so busy as to have no leisure.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Neither in writing nor in read...

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

Nothing happens to any man whi...

Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by nature to bear. The same things happen to another, and either because he does not see that they have happened or because he would show a great spirit he is firm and remains unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance and conceit should be stronger than wisdom.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

People generally despise where...

People generally despise where they flatter, and cringe to those they would gladly overtop; so that truth and ceremony are two things.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Severally on the occasion of e...

Severally on the occasion of everything that thou doest, pause and ask thyself, if death is a dreadful thing because it deprives thee of this.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The healthy eye ought to see a...

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

The perfection of moral charac...

The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

They know not how many things ...

They know not how many things are signified by the words stealing, sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what ought to be done; for this is not effected by the eyes, but by another kind of vision.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Time is like a river made up o...

Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Why should a man have any appr...

Why should a man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution of all the elements? For it is according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according to nature.

...the infallible man does not exist.
