Philosophy Quote by Marcus Aurelius — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it.”

“That which has died falls not out of the universe. If it stays here, it also changes here, and is dissolved into its proper parts, which are elements of the universe and of thyself. And these too change, and they murmur not".”

“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions — not outside.”

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.”

“All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike. All is ephemeral—both memory and the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.”

“This is your life, and its ending one minute at a time.”

“My depth has no depth”

“Nobody wants to believe that existence carries on without at least taking a stumble from their departure of this world.”

“Words are the clothes thoughts wear.”

“To be incapable of taking one’s enemies, one’s accidents, even one’s misdeeds seriously for very long - that is the sign of strong full natures in whom there is an excess of power to form, to mold, to recuperate and to forget. Mirabeau had no memory for insults and vile actions done to him and was unable to forgive simply because he - forgot. Such a man shakes off with a single shrug the many vermin that eat deep into others.”

“When you realize there is something you don't understand, then you're generally on the right path to understanding all kinds of things.”
