More Quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Both happiness and unhappiness depend on perception
Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
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.
When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you.
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Imagine you were now dead, or had not lived before his moment. Now view the rest of your life as a bonus.
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
Nothing befalls any man which he is not fitted to endure.
