Marcus Aurelius

You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.

Marcus Aurelius

Seek not external help nor the tranquility which others give. A man then must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.

Marcus Aurelius

A man’s life is dyed the color of his imagination.

Marcus Aurelius

A person’s worth is measured by the worth of what he values.

Marcus Aurelius

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.

Marcus Aurelius

Ambition means tying your well-being to what other people say or do. Self-indulgence means tying it to the things that happen to you. Sanity means tying it to your own actions.

Marcus Aurelius

Anger and the sorrow it produces are far more harmful than the things that make us angry.

Marcus Aurelius

Be content to seem what you really are.

Marcus Aurelius

Be not careless in deeds, nor confused in words, nor rambling in thought.

Marcus Aurelius

Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.

Marcus Aurelius
