Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite;
keep reason under its own control.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A person's life is what their ...

A person's life is what their thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

That which makes the man no wo...

That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Our inward power, when it obey...

Our inward power, when it obeys nature, reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces - to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aims as circumstances allow; it turns obstacles into fuel. As a fire overwhelms what would have quenched a lamp. What's thrown on top of the conflagration is absorbed, consumed by it - and makes it burn still higher.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man should always have these...

A man should always have these two rules in readiness. First, to do only what the reason of your ruling and legislating faculties suggest for the service of man. Second, to change your opinion whenever anyone at hand sets you right and unsettles you in an opinion, but this change of opinion should come only because you are persuaded that something is just or to the public advantage, not because it appears pleasant or increases your reputation.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Wilt thou, then, my soul, neve...

Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In the morning when thou rises...

In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Remember that all things are o...

Remember that all things are only opinion and that it is in your power to think as you please.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is not the body, nor the pe...

It is not the body, nor the personality that is the true self. The true self is eternal. Even on the point of death we can say to ourselves, 'my true self is free. I cannot be contained.'

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Nothing that goes on in anyone...

Nothing that goes on in anyone else's mind can harm you.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe. .. We should not say 'I am an Athenian' or 'I am a Roman' but 'I am a citizen of the Universe.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

You are making an inopportune ...

You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Do not act as if you were goin...

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Whoever does wrong, wrongs him...

Whoever does wrong, wrongs himself; whoever does injustice, does it to himself, making himself evil.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Try to live the life of the good man who is more than content with what is allocated to him.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In the same degree in which a ...

In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Consider, for example, and you...

Consider, for example, and you will find that almost all the transactions in the time of Vespasian differed little from those of the present day. You there find marrying and giving in marriage, educating children, sickness, death, war, joyous holidays, traffic, agriculture, flatterers, insolent pride, suspicions, laying of plots, longing for the death of others, newsmongers, lovers, misers, men canvassing far the consulship and for the kingdom; yet all these passed away, and are nowhere.
