Marcus Aurelius

It’s silly to try to escape other people’s faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.

Marcus Aurelius

It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

Marcus Aurelius

Keep constantly in mind in how many things you yourself have witnessed changes already. The universe is change, life is understanding.

Marcus Aurelius

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

Marcus Aurelius

Live each day as if it be your last.

Marcus Aurelius

Look deeply. Don’t miss the inherent quality and value of everything.

Marcus Aurelius

No man is happy who does not think himself so.

Marcus Aurelius

People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.

Marcus Aurelius

Practice even what seems impossible. The left hand is useless at almost everything, for lack of practice. But it guides the reins better than the right. From practice.

Marcus Aurelius

Practice really hearing what people say. Do your best to get inside their minds.
