More quotes by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too."
"If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed."
"Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one."
"When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you."
"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."
