Other Marcus Aurelius quotes:
Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it.
Change your attitude to the things that bother you and you will be aware of them.
If you are distressed by anything, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it.
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.
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly.
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
If you're honest and straightforward and mean well, it should show in your eyes. It should be unmistakable.
You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.
