If even now he were to depart, he is as ready for it as for any other action, which may be performed with modesty and decency.
Marcus AureliusFollow
He shall never want either solitude or company: and which is chiefest of all, he shall live without either desire or fear.
Marcus AureliusFollow
But he that preferreth before all things his rational part and spirit: he shall never lament and exclaim, never sigh.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Never hate any man, never suspect, never curse, never dissemble, never lust after anything that requireth the secret of walls or veils.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Never esteem anything as profitable which shall constrain you either to break your faith, or to lose your modesty.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Do thou therefore, absolutely and freely, make choice of that which is best, and stick unto it.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Anything that is of an inferior nature—applause, honor, riches, or pleasures—should not be suffered to contest with that which is good.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Keep off carefully all plausible shows and colors of external appearance, that thou mayest be able to discern things rightly.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Do thou therefore, I say, absolutely and freely make choice of that which is best, and stick unto it.
Marcus AureliusFollow
If thou shalt find that all other things in comparison of this, are but vile, and of little moment; then give not way to any other thing,
Marcus AureliusFollow
If thou find anything in this life better than righteousness, than truth, temperance, fortitude, apply thyself unto it with thy whole heart.

Marcus AureliusFollow
Rather be like one that is straight of himself, or hath ever been straight, than one that hath been rectified.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Be cheerful, and stand in no need either of other men's help or of that rest and tranquillity which thou must be beholding to others for.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Let thy God that is in thee to rule over thee find one who for his word or actions neither needs an oath, nor any man to be a witness.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Affect not to set out thy thoughts with curious neat language. Be neither a great talker, nor a great undertaker.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Do nothing against thy will, nor contrary to the community, nor without due examination, nor with reluctancy.
Marcus AureliusFollow
Those things that are his own & in his power, he himself takes order that they be good; those that happen to him, he believes them to be so.
