„Fogadd a dolgokat gőg nélkül, válj meg tőlük könnyű szívvel.”

Neki tulajdonított idézetek

„A nap mintha szétömlene, s bár mindenüvé jut belőle, mégsem apad ki. Ez onnan van, hogy szétömlése tulajdonképpen kisugárzás. Ettől a kisugárzástól kapta a "napsugár" is a nevét. Hogy milyen a napsugár, azt megláthatod, ha megfigyeled a sötét helyiségbe valami résen át behatoló napfényt: egyenes sugárban terjed, mintegy nekifeszül az útjában álló szilárd tárgynak, amely elzárja előle a mögötte levő űrt.”

Ott megáll, el sem csúszik, le sem esik. Ugyanígy kell értelmednek áradni és szétömleni: de nem kiapadni, hanem folyton sugárzani - a szembenálló akadályokra nem erőszakosan vagy szenvedélyesen ráfeszülni, nem esni le, hanem ott maradni, és azt, ami a fénye számára hozzáférhető, megvilágítani. Ami pedig visszautasítja, az maga magát fosztja meg a fénytől.

“For what else are all these things, except exercises for the reason”

Marcus Aurelius könyv Meditations

X, 31
Meditations (c. 121–180 AD), Book X
Kontextus: What matter and opportunity [for thy activity] art thou avoiding? For what else are all these things, except exercises for the reason, when it has viewed carefully and by examination into their nature the things which happen in life? Persevere then until thou shalt have made these things thy own, as the stomach which is strengthened makes all things its own, as the blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.

“He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected.”

Marcus Aurelius könyv Meditations

X, 12
Meditations (c. 121–180 AD), Book X
Kontextus: What need is there of suspicious fear, since it is in thy power to inquire what ought to be done? And if thy seest clear, go by this way content, without turning back: but if thy dost not see clear, stop and take the best advisers. But if any other things oppose thee, go on according to thy powers with due consideration, keeping to that which appears to be just. For it is best to reach this object, and if thou dost fail, let thy failure be in attempting this. He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected.

IV, 4 (as translated by ASL Farquharson)
Meditations (c. 121–180 AD), Book IV
Kontextus: If mind is common to us, then also the reason, whereby we are reasoning beings, is common. If this be so, then also the reason which enjoins what is to be done or left undone is common. If this be so, law also is common; if this be so, we are citizens; if this be so, we are partakers in one constitution; if this be so, the Universe is a kind of Commonwealth.

“Short-lived are both the praiser and the praised, and rememberer and the remembered”

“Persevere then until thou shalt have made these things thy own”

Marcus Aurelius könyv Meditations

X, 31
Meditations (c. 121–180 AD), Book X
Kontextus: What matter and opportunity [for thy activity] art thou avoiding? For what else are all these things, except exercises for the reason, when it has viewed carefully and by examination into their nature the things which happen in life? Persevere then until thou shalt have made these things thy own, as the stomach which is strengthened makes all things its own, as the blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.

Marcus Aurelius könyv Meditations

III, 10
Meditations (c. 121–180 AD), Book III
Kontextus: Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. Short, therefore, is man's life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells.
