Marcus Aurelius Opinion Quotations

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

Treat with utmost respect your power of forming opinions, for this power alone guards you against making assumptions that are contrary to nature and judgments that overthrow the rule of reason.

Socrates used to call the opinions of the many by the name of Lamiae, bugbears to frighten children.

Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, 'I have been harmed.' Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed,' and the harm is taken away.

The universe is in change, life is an opinion.

Remember that all is opinion.

Everything is mere opinion.

Ifit be a thing external that causes thy grief, know, that it is not that properly that doth cause it, but thine own conceit and opinion concerning the thing: which thou mayest rid thyself of, when thou wilt.

If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.

Remember that all things are only opinion and that it is in your power to think as you please.

The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.

Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.
