Have I done something for the general interest? Well then I have had my reward. Let this always be present to thy mind, and never stop doing such good.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Retire into thyself. The rati...

Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Every being ought to do that ...

Every being ought to do that which is according to its constitution; and all other things have been constituted for the sake of the superior, but the rational for the sake of one another.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Vex not thy spirit at the cou...

Vex not thy spirit at the course of things; they heed not thy vexation. How ludicrous and outlandish is astonishment at anything that may happen in life.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Each of us lives only now, th...

Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Today I escaped all circumsta...

Today I escaped all circumstance, or rather I cast out all circumstance, for it was not outside me, but within my judgements.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Understand however that every...

Understand however that every man is worth just so much as the things are worth about which he busies himself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

To them that ask: Where hast ...

To them that ask: Where hast thou seen the Gods, or how knowest thou certainly that there be Gods, that thou art so devout in their worship? I answer: Neither have I seen my own soul, and yet I respect and honor it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

In the end, what would you ga...

In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is within our power not to...

It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds; for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Keep yourself simple, good, p...

Keep yourself simple, good, pure, serious, and unassuming; the friend of justice and godliness; kindly, affectionate, and resolute in your devotion to duty.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man makes no noise over a g...

A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man must stand erect, not b...

A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Even the stoics agree that ce...

Even the stoics agree that certainty is very hard to come at; that our assent is worth little, for where is infallibility to be found?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Adorn thyself with simplicity...

Adorn thyself with simplicity and with indifference towards the things which lie between virtue and vice. Love mankind. Follow God. The poet says that Law rules all. And it is enough to remember that law rules all.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When the sovereign spirit wit...

When the sovereign spirit within us is true to nature, it stands poised and ready to adjust to every change in circumstances and to seize each new opportunity. It doesn't approach an object with prejudice or preconception, but handles each thing dispassionately before embracing it and, if necessary, finds advantage in what opposes it. It is like fire in this regard. Whereas a feeble flame might suffocate under a pile of dry sticks, a robust fire consumes everything it touches. The more objects of any kind heaped on it, the higher it rises, the hotter it burns.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Do not act as if you had a th...

Do not act as if you had a thousand years to live.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Be cheerful, also, and seek n...

Be cheerful, also, and seek not external help, nor the peace which others give. A man must stand straight, and not be kept straight by others.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

The offender needs pity, not ...

The offender needs pity, not wrath; those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness; and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A man does not sin by commiss...

A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
