Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

This eBook edition of “Meditations of Marcus Aurelius” has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.”Meditations” is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from second century, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. The Meditations is divided into 12 books that chronicle different periods of Marcus' life. A central theme to Meditations is the importance of analyzing one's judgment of self and others and the development of a cosmic perspective. The style of writing that permeates the text is one that is simplified, straightforward, and perhaps reflecting Marcus' Stoic perspective on the text.

    For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.
  • Peter Gazaryanhas quoted2 months ago
    Do not be carried along inconsiderately by the appearance of things, but give help to all according to thy ability and their fitness;
  • Peter Gazaryanhas quoted2 months ago
    Everything which happens is as familiar and well known as the rose in spring and the fruit in summer; for such is disease, and death, and calumny, and treachery, and whatever else delights fools or vexes them.
