Marcus Aurelius

(0121–0180) · Roman Emperor & Philosopher

Was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.
Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
The universe is transformation: life is opinion.
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Be content to seem what you really are.
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.
Poverty is the mother of crime.
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.
