"A man's worth is no greater than..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
More by Marcus Aurelius
“Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.”
“Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence.”
“Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.”
More on Ambition
“A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.”
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends.”
“If I'm here, I'll be trying to be a better human being, a better writer, a better friend and a better beloved.”
More on Worth
“I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.”
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..who errs, who comes short again and again; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who spends himself in a worthy cause.”
“It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.”
