More quotes by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."
"Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence."
"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."
"All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion."
"If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance."
