All MARCUS AURELIUS Quotes about “Opinions”

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”
“The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.”
“A man should always have these two rules in readiness. First, to do only what the reason of your ruling and legislating faculties suggest for the service of man. Second, to change your opinion whenever anyone at hand sets you right and unsettles you in an opinion, but this change of opinion should come only because you are persuaded that something is just or to the public advantage, not because it appears pleasant or increases your reputation.”
“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.”
“The universe is transformation: life is opinion.”
“Outward objects cannot take hold of the soul, nor force their passage into her, nor set any of her wheels going. No, the impression comes from herself, and it is her own motions which affect her. As for the contingencies of fortune, they are either great or little, according to the opinion she has of her own strength.”
“Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in thy power.”
“Everything is mere opinion.”
“Remember that all is opinion. For what was said by the Cynic Monimus is manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said, if a man receives what may be got out of it as far as it is true.”
“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.”
