More Quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.
Nothing befalls any man which he is not fitted to endure.
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.
Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
