Both happiness and unhappiness...

Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Think of all the years passed ...

Think of all the years passed by in which you said to yourself 'I'll do it tomorrow,' and how the gods have again and again granted you periods of grace of which you have not availed yourself. It is time to realize that you are a member of the Universe, that you are born of Nature itself, and to know that a limit has been set to your time. Use every moment wisely, to perceive your inner refulgence, or 'twill be gone and nevermore within your reach.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Mark how fleeting and paltry i...

Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man-yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

From my grandfather's father, ...

From my grandfather's father, I learned to dispense with attendance at public schools, and to enjoy good teachers at home, and to recognize that on such things money should be eagerly spent.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How powerful is man! He is abl...

How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

All that is harmony for you, m...

All that is harmony for you, my Universe, is in harmony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right time for you is too early or too late for me. Everything is fruit to me that your seasons bring, Nature. All things come of you, have their being in you, and return to you.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

Live each day as if it be your last.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Remember that man lives only i...

Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Remember that even if you were...

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

Do not think that what is hard...

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.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Look within, for within is the...

Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Live not as though there were ...

Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

All is Ephemeral, fame and the...

All is Ephemeral, fame and the famous as well.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Put it out of the power of truth to give you an ill character. If anybody reports you not to be an honest man let your practice give him the lie.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If you are distressed by anyth...

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Observe always that everything...

Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How ridiculous not to flee fro...

How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Snow endures but for a season,...

Snow endures but for a season, and joy comes with the morning.

The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
