Marcus Aurelius: Quotes & Facts
*****
Copyright © 2016 by Blago Kirov
Foreword
Be your own master, and look at things as a man, as a human being, as a citizen, as a mortal creature.
This book is an anthology of quotes from Marcus Aurelius and selected facts about Marcus Aurelius.
A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.
A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
All things fade and quickly turn to myth.
Be your own master, and look at things as a man, as a human being, as a citizen, as a mortal creature.
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Confine yourself to the present.
Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.
Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.
Everything that happens, happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
He is so rich, he has no room to shit.
How soon will time cover all things.
Its a dream, a fearful dream, life is
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Life is opinion.
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
No more roundabout discussions of what makes a good man. Be one!
Receive without conceit, release without struggle.
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
Strength and honor.
To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.
What we do now echoes in eternity.

Marcus Aurelius was the last of the so-called Five Good Emperors.
He was a practitioner of Stoicism, and his untitled writing, commonly known as the Meditations, is the most significant source of the modern understanding of ancient Stoic philosophy.
During his reign, the Empire defeated a revitalized Parthian Empire in the East: Aurelius' general Avidius Cassius sacked the capital Ctesiphon in 164.
In central Europe, Aurelius fought the Marcomanni, Quadi, and Sarmatians with success during the Marcomannic Wars, although the threat of the Germanic tribes began to represent a troubling reality for the Empire.
Aurelius' Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a
