More Quotes from Marcus Aurelius Antoninus:
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
In every pain let this thought be present, that there is no dishonor in it, nor does it make the governing intelligence worse. Indeed, in the case of most pains, let this remark of Epicurus aid thee, that pain is neither intolerable nor everlasting if thou bearest in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination. Pain is either an evil to the body (then let the body say what it thinks of it)or to the soul. But it is in the power of the soul to maintain its own serenity and tranquility, and not to think that pain is an evil.... It will suffice thee to remember as concerning pain ... that the mind may, by stopping all manner of commerce and sympathy with the body, still retain its own tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
And what after all is everlasting fame All together vanity.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
