More quotes by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
"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."
"Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence."
"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."
