Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice? Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Pain too is just a scary mask: look under it and you will see. The body sometimes suffers, but relief is never far behind. And if that isn’t good enough for you, the door stands open; otherwise put up with it. The door needs to stay open whatever the circumstances, with the result that our problems disappear. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
If you don’t want to be cantankerous, don’t feed your temper, or multiply incidents of anger. Suppress the first impulse to be angry, then begin to count the days on which you don’t get mad. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Now think of the things which goad man into destroying man: they are hope, envy, hatred, fear and contempt. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Pain is neither intolerable nor everlasting if you bear in mind that it has its limits, and if you add nothing to it in imagination. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
When another blames you or hates you, or when men say anything injurious about you, approach their poor souls, penetrate within, and see what kind of men they are. You will discover that there is no reason to be concerned that these men have this or that opinion about you. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man’s life. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Death and pain are not frightening, it’s the fear of pain and death we need to fear. Which is why we praise the poet who wrote, ‘Death is not fearful, but dying like a coward is.’ Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
If money is your only standard, then consider that, by your lights, someone who loses their nose does not suffer any harm. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Do as Socrates did, never replying to the question of where he was from with, ‘I am Athenian,’ or ‘I am from Corinth,’ but always, ‘I am a citizen of the world.’ Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
To be sure, external things of whatever kind require skill in their use, but we must not grow attached to them; whatever they are, they should only serve for us to show how skilled we are in our handling of them. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Never get into family fights over material things; give them up willingly, and your moral standing will increase in proportion. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Nothing important comes into being overnight; even grapes or figs need time to ripen. If you say that you want a fig now, I will tell you to be patient. First, you must allow the tree to flower, then put forth fruit; then you have to wait until the fruit is ripe. So if the fruit of a fig tree is not brought to maturity instantly or in an hour, how do you expect the human mind to come to fruition, so quickly and easily? Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Whenever externals are more important to you than your own integrity, then be prepared to serve them the remainder of your life. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
All our efforts must be directed towards an end, or we will act in vain. If it is not the right end, we will fail utterly. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
The following are non-sequiturs: ‘I am richer, therefore superior to you’; or ‘I am a better speaker, therefore a better person, than you’. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
When you’ve done well and another has benefited by it, why like a fool do you look for a third thing on top— credit for the good deed or a favor in return? Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
If you have been placed in a position above others, are you automatically going to behave like a despot? Remember who you are and whom you govern – that they are kinsmen, brothers by nature, fellow descendants of Zeus. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
When a guide meets up with someone who is lost, ordinarily his reaction is to direct him on the right path, not mock or malign him, then turn on his heel and walk away. As for you, lead someone to the truth and you will find that he can follow. But as long as you don’t point it out to him, don’t make fun of him; be aware of what you need to work on instead. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Never value anything as profitable that compels you to break your promise, to lose your self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything that needs walls and curtains. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Accustom yourself to attend carefully to what is said by another, and as much as it is possible, try to inhabit the speaker’s mind. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
