Marcus Aurelius Fate Quotations

Remember: Matter: how tiny your share of it. Time: how brief and fleeting your allotment of it. Fate: how small a role you play in it.

Love only what befalls you and is spun for you by fate.

This is moral perfection: to live each day as though it were the last; to be tranquil, sincere, yet not indifferent to one's fate.

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

Whatever may happen to thee, it was prepared for thee from all eternity ...

God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.

Love the people with whom fate brings you together

Welcome every experience the looms of fate may weave for you...

Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

Submit to the fate of your own free will.
