Marcus Aurelius Deeds Quotations

Just as the sand-dunes, heaped one upon another, hide each the first, so in life the former deeds are quickly hidden by those that follow after.

Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.

Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.

When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.

A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.

Persuade me or prove to me that I am mistaken in thought or deed, and I will gladly change - for it is the truth I seek, and the truth never harmed anyone. Harm comes from persisting in error and clinging to ignorance.

Man is born for deeds of kindness.

Be not careless in deeds, nor confused in words, nor rambling in thought.
