Meditations

Marcus Aurelius

Editorial summary

The private notebook of a Roman emperor, written to himself as Stoic self-correction. Short, aphoristic entries on duty, mortality, anger, and accepting what is outside one's control. A clean, dense source of moral-reasoning prose untouched by modern editorializing.
