Transcending Thoughts
quotes by Marcus Aurelius
A Precious Priviledge
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Seek the Truth
I seek the truth...it is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance that does harm.
Habitual Thoughts
Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible.
A Time Saver
How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.
True Delight
Everything--a horse, a vine--is created for some duty...For what task, then, were you yourself created? A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
