Marcus Aurelius Quotes About Pain And Pleasure

Quotes about: Pain And Pleasure

• How can a man find a sensible way to live? One way and one only- Philosophy. And my philosophy means keeping that vital spark within you free from damage and degradation, using it to transcend pain and pleasure, doing everything with a purpose, avoiding lies and hypocrisy, not relying on another person's actions or failings. To accept everything that comes, and everything that is given, as coming from that same spiritual source.

  Marcus Aurelius

  Spiritual, Pain, Lying

• Yet living and dying, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. Things like these neither elevate nor degrade; and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.

  Marcus Aurelius

  Pain, Men, Evil
