Marcus Aurelius - Meditations, Book nine

A man does not sin by commission only, but often by omission.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations ? Book Three
One whose chief regard is for his own mind, and for the divinity within him and the service of its goodness, will strike no poses, utter no complaints, and crave neither for solitude nor yet for a crowd. Best of all, his life will be free from continual pursuing and avoiding.
Marcus Aurelius
All is ephemeral--fame and the famous as well.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations ? Book Seven
All of us are working together for the same end; some of us knowingly and purposefully, others unconsciously.

It is a sin to persue pleasure as a good and to avoid pain as a evil.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations ? Book Six
Because a thing is difficult for you, do not therefore suppose it to be beyond mortal power. On the contrary, if anything is possible and proper for man to do, assume that it must fall within your own capacity.
Marcus Aurelius
Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Marcus Aurelius
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.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations ? Book Ten
Waste no more time arguing what a god man should be. Be one.

The sinners sins against himself; the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations ? Book Twelve
All the blessings which you pray to obtain hereafter could be yours today, if you did not deny them to yourself.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations - Book Eleven
Virtue they will but abuse, and taunt her with bitter revilling.
Marcus Aurelius
Death smiles at us all, but all a man can do is smile back.
Marcus Aurelius
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations
It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.
