Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Marcus Aurelius
The wise man accepts his pain, endures it, but does not add to it.
Marcus Aurelius
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Marcus Aurelius
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Marcus Aurelius
A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.
Marcus Aurelius
Death smiles at us all; all we can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
