Other Marcus Aurelius quotes:
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
The existence of evil does not harm the world. And an individual act of evil does not harm the victim. Only one person is harmed by it - and he can stop being harmed as soon as he decides to.
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.
Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Never value anything as profitable that compels you to break your promise, to lose your self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything that needs walls and curtains.
A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
Failing to understand the workings of one's own mind is bound to lead to unhappiness.
