Completely unabridged, with a new foreword written by Huffington
Post writer Carolyn Gregoire, this publication of Meditations is an
all-encompassing collection of Marcus Aurelius's works. "Do every
deed, speak every word, think every thought in the knowledge that
you may end your days any moment." "We have body, soul, and
intelligence. To the body belong the senses, to the soul the
passions, to the intelligence principles." "Think not as your
insulter judges or wishes you to judge: but see things as they
truly are." "To pursue impossibilities is madness; and it is
impossible that the wicked should not act in some such way as
this." "Order not your life as though you had ten thousand years to
live. Fate hangs over you. While you live, while yet you may, be
good." Meditations is a collection of twelve books written by Roman
Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This set of books was originally compiled
in the form of private journals. Marcus Aurelius used these notes
as personal guides to live by and to better himself as a ruler. He
compiled these journals during his time as emperor, and while they
were not intended for public consumption, there are valuable
lessons to be gleaned from his wisdom. The entries include his
views of stoicism-the Hellenistic philosophy devoid of "destructive
emotions" that could tamper with logic-and its practical use in
ruling and military tactics.
