Other Marcus Aurelius quotes:
If you're honest and straightforward and mean well, it should show in your eyes. It should be unmistakable.
Let no act be done without purpose.
You have to assemble your life yourself - action by action.
You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.
Change your attitude to the things that bother you and you will be aware of them.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly.
A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
Stop allowing your mind to be a slave, to be jerked about by selfish impulses, to kick against fate and the present, and to mistrust the future.
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
