Think of all the years passed by in which you said to yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and how the gods have again and again granted you periods of grace of which you have not availed yourself. It is time to realize that you are a member of the Universe, that you are born of Nature itself, and to know that a limit has been set to your time. Use every moment wisely, to perceive your inner refulgence, or ’twill be gone and nevermore within your reach. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see.

Small as the greatest renown, passed from mouth to mouth by short-lived stick figures, ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Here is a rule to remember in future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not “This is misfortune,” but “To bear this worthily is good fortune”. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Set yourself in motion, if it is in your power, and do not look about you to see if anyone will observe it; nor yet expect Plato’s Republic: but be content if the smallest thing goes on well, and consider such an event to be no small matter. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Failure to observe what is in the mind of another has seldom made a man unhappy; but those who do not observe the movements of their own minds must of necessity be unhappy. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
You can pass your life in an equable flow of happiness if you can follow the right way and think and act in the right way. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Remind yourself that it is not the future or what has passed that afflicts you, but always the present. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Nothing is burdensome if taken lightly, and how nothing need arouse one’s irritation so long as one doesn’t make it bigger than it is by getting irritated. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Every day as it comes should be welcomed and reduced forthwith into our own possession as if it were the finest day imaginable. What flies past has to be seized at. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago

Where a man can live, he can also live well. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago

Pleasures, when they go beyond a certain limit, are but punishments. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Don’t let outward appearances mislead you into thinking that someone with more prestige, power or some other distinction must on that account be happy. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
I say that virtue is more valuable than wealth to the same degree that eyes are more valuable than fingernails. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
Either you’re going to be depressed when your wish is not realized or foolishly pleased with yourself if it is, overjoyed for the wrong reasons. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself. Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 5 years ago
