Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, left behind a treasury of wisdom in his personal journal, known as ”Meditations.” Here are some of his insightful quotes:
1. ”Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
2. ”The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
3. ”Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
4. ”The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”
5. ”Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”
6. ”You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
7. ”The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”
8. ”Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”
9. ”If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it.”
10. ”The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
These quotes reflect Marcus Aurelius’s Stoic philosophy, emphasizing self-awareness, acceptance of the present moment, and the importance of virtue in leading a fulfilling life.
