It is a base thing for the co...

It is a base thing for the countenance to be obedient and to regulate and compose itself as the mind commands, and for the mind not to be regulated and composed by itself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Death and life, success and f...

Death and life, success and failure, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, all these happen to good and bad alike, and they are neither noble nor shameful - and hence neither good nor bad.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Either all things proceed fro...

Either all things proceed from one intelligent source and come together as in one body, and the part ought not to find fault with what is done for the benefit of the whole; or there are only atoms, and nothing else than a mixture and dispersion. Why, then, art thou disturbed? Say to this ruling faculty, Art thou dead, art thou corrupted, art thou playing the hypocrite, art thou become a beast, dost thou herd and feed with the rest?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

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

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

Never forget that the univers...

Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Why dost thou not pray... to ...

Why dost thou not pray... to give thee the faculty of not fearing any of the things which thou fearest, or of not desiring any of the things which thou desirest, or not being pained at anything, rather than pray that any of these things should not happen or happen?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Waste not the remnant of thy ...

Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imaginations touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not to the common weal.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

No longer let thy breathing o...

No longer let thy breathing only act in concert with the air which surrounds thee, but let thy intelligence also now be in harmony with the intelligence which embraces all things. For the intelligent power is no less diffused in all parts and pervades all things for him who is willing to draw it to him than the a?rial power for him who is able to respire it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Pray look upon the plants and...

Pray look upon the plants and birds, the ants, spiders, and bees, and you will see them all exerting their nature, and busy in their station. Pray, shall not a man act like a man?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Why should a man have any app...

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.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

And can anything else that is...

And can anything else that is useful be accomplished without change? Do you not see then that for yourself also to change is just the same, and equally necessary for the universal nature?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Wherever a man lives, he may ...

Wherever a man lives, he may live well.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The nature of the universe is...

The nature of the universe is the nature of things that are. Now, things that are have kinship with things that are from the beginning. Further, this nature is styled Truth; and it is the first cause of all that is true.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything is interwoven, and...

Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy; none of its parts are unconnected. They are composed harmoniously, and together - they compose the world.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

My being consists of matter a...

My being consists of matter and form, that is, of soul and body; annihilation will reach neither of them, for they were never produced out of nothing. The consequence is, that every part of me will serve to make something in the world; and this again will change into another part through an infinite succession of change. This constant method of alteration gave me my being, and my father before me, and so on to eternity backward: for I think I may speak thus, even though the world be confined within certain determinate periods.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

How easy it is to repel and r...

How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

At day's first light have in ...

At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that "I am rising for the work of man."

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In the case of most pains let...

In the case of most pains let this remark of Epicurus aid thee, that the pain is neither intolerable nor everlasting, if thou bear in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Thou mayest foresee... the th...

Thou mayest foresee... the things which will be. For they will certainly be of like form, and it is not possible that they should deviate from the order of things now: accordingly to have contemplated human life for forty years is the same as to have contemplated it for ten thousand years.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

All men are made one for anot...

All men are made one for another: either then teach them better or bear with them.
