Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.
More Quotes from Marcus Aurelius Antoninus:
In mans life, time is but a moment being, a flux sense is dim the material frame corruptible soul, an eddy of breath fortune a thing inscrutable, and fame precarious.Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Forget not on every occasion to ask thyself, is this no tone of the unnecessary things.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Just as the sand-dunes, heaped one upon another, hide each the first, so in life the former deeds are quickly hidden by those that follow after.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Men are created one for another, either then teach them or bear with.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has caught the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season. Must a man then be one of these, who in a manner acts thus without observing it Yes. What more dost thou want when thou hast done a man a service Art thou not content that thou hast done something conformable to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for it, just as if the eye demanded a recompense for seeing, or the feet should demand a recompense for walking.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live death is nigh at hand while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
