quotes by marcus aurelius


  • Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.


  • The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.


  • Anger cannot be dishonest.


  • Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.


  • A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.


  • Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.


  • A man should be upright, not be kept upright.


Marcus Aurelius
