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

“Stop wandering about! You aren't likely to read your own notebooks, or ancient histories, or the anthologies you've collected to enjoy in your old age. Get busy with life's purpose, toss aside empty hopes, get active in your own rescue-if you care for yourself at all-and do it while you can.”

“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.”

“Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.”

“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

“From the philosopher Catulus, never to be dismissive of a friend's accusation, even if it seems unreasonable, but to make every effort to restore the relationship to its normal condition.”

“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.”

“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.”

“Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are.”

“Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, Something is out of tune.”

“Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.”

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”
