Marcus Aurelius

Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.

Marcus Aurelius

Never act without purpose and resolve, or without the means to finish the job.

Marcus Aurelius

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.

Marcus Aurelius

Never wilt your soul, never be just good, simple or unpolished. Manifest more then the body that surrounds yourself.

Marcus Aurelius

No more roundabout discussions of what makes a good man. Be one!

Marcus Aurelius

No one loses any other life than the one he now lives, nor does one live any other life than that which he will lose.

Marcus Aurelius

Not to assume it’s impossible because you find it hard. But to recognize that if it’s humanly possible, you can do it too.

Marcus Aurelius

Note that everything that happens, happens justly, and if you observe carefully, you will find it to be so, not only with respect to the continuity of the series of things, but with respect to what is just, as if it were done by one who assigns to each thing its value.

Marcus Aurelius

Nothing befalls a man except what is in his nature to endure.

Marcus Aurelius

Nothing is as encouraging as when virtues are visibly embodied in the people around us, when we’re practically showered with them.
