Marcus Aurelius

I have often wondered how it is that every man sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others. So much more respect have we to what our neighbors think of us than to what we think of ourselves.

Marcus Aurelius

A man should be upright, not kept upright.

Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

A man's happiness: to do the things proper to man.

Marcus Aurelius

A man's life is what his thoughts make it.

Accept the things to which fate binds you and love the people with whom fate brings you together but do so with all your heart.

Marcus Aurelius

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

Marcus Aurelius

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.

Marcus Aurelius

Be content with what you are, and wish not change nor dread your last day, nor long for it.

Marcus Aurelius

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

Marcus Aurelius

Dig within. Within is the wellspring of good and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

Marcus Aurelius

Everyman's life lies within the present, for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

Marcus Aurelius

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Marcus Aurelius

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it. Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

Marcus Aurelius

Here is a rule to remember when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not, "This is a misfortune," but "To bear this worthily is good fortune."

Marcus Aurelius

Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'

Marcus Aurelius

How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.

Marcus Aurelius

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
