Marcus Aurelius Antoninus quotes
"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."
"The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
"Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there."
"It is the act of a madman to pursue impossibilities."
"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts, therefore guard accordingly; and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue, and reasonable nature."
"Remember this-that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life."
"Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!"
"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it."
"How ridiculous and unrealistic is the man who is astonished at anything that happens in life."
"How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks."
