Meditations Deluxe Edition Quotes

“Borra los desvaríos de tus fantasías, repitiéndote sin cesar: pende de mi en este momento el que no haya en mi alma el menor vicio, deseo ni absolutamente ninguna agitación. Antes bien, veo todas las cosas como son y uso de cada una según su merito, No olvides esa facultad que te otorgo la naturaleza.”
― Marcus Aurelius, The meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antonius

“Alexander, Julius Caesar, Pompey — what are they to Diogenes, Heraclitus, Socrates? These men saw into reality, its causes and its material, and their directing minds were their own masters. As for the former, they were slaves to all their ambitions.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations: by Marcus Aurelius
