The Most Life Changing Marcus Aurelius Quotes
Jump to Connections
594,567 Views • Oct 28, 2022 • Click to toggle off description
In the year 170, the most powerful man in the world sat down to write.

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor, born nearly two millennia ago (121 – 180). Marcus became the Emperor of the Roman Empire in 161 and ruled for nearly two decades until his death in 180. It is important to realize the gravity of that position and the magnitude of power that Marcus possessed. He held one of—if not the most—powerful positions in the world at the time. If he chose to, nothing would be off limits. There is a reason the adage that power in absolute absolutely corrupts has been repeated throughout history—it unfortunately tends to be true. And yet, as the essayist Matthew Arnold remarked, Marcus proved himself worthy of the position he was in.

Marcus has only one core work, which was actually never intended for publication: his Meditations (originally titled “To Himself”). This is not only one of greatest books ever written but perhaps the only book of its kind. It is the definitive text on self-discipline, personal ethics, humility, self-actualization and strength.

In this video are 45 of our favorite quotes from Marcus Aurelius.

“Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts”. Holy shit! It’s amazing that someone was thinking this 2000 years ago.

I can't -- and expect to never -- get over the fact that when we read Marcus we are eavesdropping on his own advice to himself. As I understand it, he ordered his "Meditations" to be burned after his death. So he wasn't preaching, or trying to impress anyone, or "seem" a certain way. He was trying to BE a certain way, a way of utmost integrity, of constant self-betterment. And he wanted NO praise or validation for it. And I understand he, largely, LIVED it. All while being Emperor. He seems to me the most Christlike human being ever.

It is truly fascinating how almost all of modern-day quotes you see on different social media platforms were, in an indirect way, derived from some stoic quote.

His book Meditations (Gregory Hays' translation) has changed my life and I've recommended it to my friends in the Indian army, my law professors, my fellow students and old classmates and even my relatives whom I don't have the best relationship with! Ryan does God's work and I'm not sure what would have happened if I was not introduced to Stoicism by him when I was! Great job. I don't usually buy books as a 22 year old law student from India, a developing country, but I've bought paperback for Meditations (Gregory Hats) cause of him. Thanks again, Ryan.

His infinte selfknowlegde and wisdom is amazing. And this from a man who at long periods of life went troubled and depressed over all the horrors he been through, but he still got up early in the day, and did things big or small. A man who understood the importance have daily routines. He knew life would suck, but still got up every day. Even when all his friends betrayed him. If he is not a worthy leader none is. Or ever were. Respect through millenias.

Marcus Aurelius learned a lot and was a big fan of Epictetus who was a slave. A ruler took lessons from a slave. Goes to show teachings can come from all walks of life especially in an arrogant era like that.

I loved this video format, I watched the entire video and I was moved by each sentence, since it puts me in a different perspective, a perspective that is necessary on a day-to-day basis. Thanks for this kind of content.

Let each thing you say , do or intend be like that of a dying person. think of yourself as dead. you have lived your life. now take what’s left and live it properly. The thing you think about determine the quality of your mind.Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts. If it is endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. You have to assemble your life yourself. Action by action. Ask yourself at every moment is this necessary? Today i escape anxiety. Or no, I discarded it.Because it was within me;in my own perceptions, not outside. Concentrate every minute on doing what is in front of you. You dont have to turn this in to something.it doesnt have to upset you The present is all we have to live or to lose it. Stop whatever you are doing for a moment and ask yourself ”Am i afraid of death because i won’t be able to do it anymore?” You can also commit injustice by doing nothing. It never ceases to amaze me : we all love ourselves more than other people, But care more about their opinion than our own. It’s unfortunate that this has happened. No. It’s fortunate that this has happened and I’ve remained unharmed by it. if it's not right don't do it if it's not true don't say it. If something is humanly possible, it's attainable by you too.
