Marcus Aurelius

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly. What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.
-Marcus Aurelius

Nothing befalls any man which he is not fitted to endure.
-Marcus Aurelius

A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.
-Marcus Aurelius

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.
-Marcus Aurelius

A person’s worth is measured by the worth of what he values.
-Marcus Aurelius

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.
-Marcus Aurelius

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

-Marcus Aurelius

Do not be wise in words – be wise in deeds.
-Marcus Aurelius

There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.
-Marcus Aurelius
