Marcus Aurelius

Everything is but what we think it.

Marcus Aurelius

Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

Marcus Aurelius

Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

Marcus Aurelius

Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

Marcus Aurelius

Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.

Marcus Aurelius

External things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.

Marcus Aurelius

Failure to read what is happening in another’s soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.

Marcus Aurelius

Finally, in every event which leads you to sorrow, remember to use this principle: that this is not a misfortune, but that to bear it like a brave man is good fortune.

Marcus Aurelius

Find joy in simplicity, self-respect, and indifference to what lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow the divine.

Marcus Aurelius

Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.

Marcus Aurelius
