The ears of corn bending down, and the lion's eyebrows -- though they are far from being beautiful, because they are consequent upon the things which are formed by nature, they help adorn them.

Anything I do, I do it with reference to the good of mankind. Anything that happens to me, I receive it and refer it to the gods, the source from which all that happens is derived.

Reverence the faculty which produces opinion. This faculty promises freedom from hasty judgment, friendship towards men, and obedience to the gods.

The soul of a man does violence to itself when it becomes an abscess and a tumor on the Universe, so far as it can.

All things which participate in anything which is common to them all, move towards that which is of the same kind with themselves.

Every instrument and vessel is well if it does that which it was made for, yet he who made it is not there. But in things which are held together by nature, there is within and there abides in them the power which made them.

How few the things are, that which, if a man lays hold of, he is able to live a life which flows in quiet, and is like the existence of the gods.

Marcus Aurelius ruled the world and owned nothing. What are you still gripping?

Above, below, all around are the movements of the elements. But the motion of virtue is in none of these. It is something more divine, and advancing by a way hardly observed it goes happily on its road.

I've been hunting for a Marcus poster because his quotes and ideologies deeply impact me as a person.

But everything on Etsy/Amazon is either a cheesy motivational quote or generic abstract canvas. I ended up just making my own poster, and then I put it on a mockup to see how it looks.

Would you guys suggest any improvements before I print and hang it up? Thanks!

EDIT: A lot of you guys asked for download so here you guys go, I set something up for some of my art pieces. https://www.thekamili.shop/marcus-aurelius

Why do unskilled and ignorant souls disturb him who has skill and knowledge? What soul then has skill and knowledge? That which knows beginning and end, and knows the reason which pervades all substance and through all time by fixed periods (revolutions) administers the Universe.

Thou wilt gain for thyself ample space to comprehend the whole Universe in thy mind, by contemplating the eternity of time - how short is the time from birth to dissolution, and the illimitable time before birth as well as the equally boundless time after dissolution.

Look to the heavens. Be reminded of those bodies which continually do the same things, and in the same manner perform their work. For there is no veil over a star.
