Truth and ceremony are two things.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When you find an unwillingness...

When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning, endeavor to rouse your faculties, and act up to your kind, and consider that you have to do the business of a man; and that action is both beneficial and the end of your being.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is right that man should lo...

It is right that man should love those who have offended him. He will do so when he remembers that all men are his relations, and that it is through ignorance and involuntarily that they sin,--and then we all die so soon.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A rational nature admits of no...

A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A great estate is a great disa...

A great estate is a great disadvantage to those who do not know how to use it, for nothing is more common than to see wealthy persons live scandalously and miserably; riches do them no service in order to virtue and happiness; therefore 'tis precept and principle, not an estate, that makes a man good for something.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Can we wonder that men perish ...

Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten, when their noblest and most enduring works decay? Death comes even to monumental structures, and oblivion rests on the most illustrious names.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It were well to die if there b...

It were well to die if there be gods, and sad to live if there be none.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

And yet, after all, what is posthumous fame? Altogether vanity.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Receive the gifts of fortune without pride, and part with them without reluctance.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Whatever any one does or says,...

Whatever any one does or says, I must be good; just as if the emerald were always saying this: 'Whatever any one does or says, I must still be emerald, and keep my color.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Happiness is no other than sou...

Happiness is no other than soundness and perfection of mind.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything is mere opinion....

Everything is mere opinion.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Most of what we say and do is ...

Most of what we say and do is unnecessary: remove the superfluity, and you will have more time and less bother. So in every case one should prompt oneself: 'Is this, or is it not, something necessary?' And the removal of the unnecessary should apply not only to actions but to thoughts also: then no redundant actions either will follow.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is possible to depart from ...

It is possible to depart from life at this moment. Have this thought in mind whenever you act, speak, or think.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

He who follows reason in all t...

He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

This is the chief thing: be not perturbed, for all things are according to the nature of the universal.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If you are pained by any exter...

If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Persuade me or prove to me tha...

Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.
