Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and ay, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into the world?'

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

You have to assemble your life...

You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Stick to what's in front of yo...

Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Don't let your imagination be ...

Don't let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man's true delight is to do ...

A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In man's life, time is but a m...

In man's life, time is but a moment; being, a flux; sense is dim; the material frame corruptible; soul, an eddy of breath; fortune a thing inscrutable, and fame precarious.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

As for life, it is a battle an...

As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land; but the fame that comes after is oblivion.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Life is a warfare and a strang...

Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Most of what we say and do is ...

Most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you'll have more time, and more tranquillity. Ask yourself at every moment, 'Is this necessary?'

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

From Apollonius I learned free...

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

There is but one thing of real...

There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Within ten days thou wilt seem...

Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Always run to the short way; a...

Always run to the short way; and the short way is the natural: accordingly say and do everything in conformity with the soundest reason. For such a purpose frees a man from trouble, and warfare, and all artifice and ostentatious display.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If souls continue to exist, ho...

If souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them from eternity?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Never value anything as profit...

Never value anything as profitable to thyself which shall compel thee to break thy promise, to lose thy self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything which needs walls and curtains.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Think of what you have rather ...

Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Whatever may happen to you was...

Whatever may happen to you was prepared for you from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of your being.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Can anything that is useful be...

Can anything that is useful be accomplished without change?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Either an ordered Universe or ...

Either an ordered Universe or a medley heaped together mechanically but still an order; or can order subsist in you and disorder in the Whole! And that, too, when all things are so distinguished and yet intermingled and sympathetic.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

That which is really beautiful...

That which is really beautiful has no need of anything; not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes
