Other Marcus Aurelius quotes:
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.
Disgraceful: for the soul to give up when the body is still going strong.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
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.
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.
You should banish any thoughts of how you may appear to others.
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
