If thou workest at that which...

If thou workest at that which is before thee ... expecting nothing, fearing nothing, but satisfied with thy present activity according to Nature, and with heroic truth in every word and sound which thou utterest, thou wilt live happy. And there is no man who is able to prevent this.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Think of yourself as dead. Yo...

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When force of circumstance up...

When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Put from you the belief that ...

Put from you the belief that 'I have been wronged', and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Keep reminding yourself of th...

Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When you arise in the morning...

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love ... then make that day count!

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Everything - a horse, a vine ...

Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

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

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

A wrongdoer is often a man who has left something undone, not always one who has done something.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

He is a true fugitive who flies from reason.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Do what you will. Even if you...

Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If it's in your control, why ...

If it's in your control, why do you do it? If it's in someone else's control, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way. Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

When pain is unbearable it de...

When pain is unbearable it destroys us; when it does not it is bearable.

The man who has a house everywhere has a home nowhere

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Are you distracted by outward...

Are you distracted by outward cares? Then allow yourself a space of quiet wherein you can add to your knowledge of the Good and learn to curb your restlessness. Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. Avail yourself often, then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

If you are pained by external...

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Live not one's life as though...

Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.

Marcus Aurelius 881 quotes

Your time has a limit set to ...

Your time has a limit set to it. Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment; or it will be gone, and never in your power again.
