You may know Marcus Aurelius from history books. Or from the first part of the classic movie Gladiator.
He lived and ruled the Roman Empire almost 2000 years ago so it’s kind of unlikely that we would know so much about him and his innermost thoughts today.
But he wrote in a private journal called Meditations. Just to help himself with his own life, like many of us have done. After his death this journal was published and read and so his honest, unedited and practical view on life has lived on for thousands of years.
And in today’s post I want to share 101 of the best Marcus Aurelius quotes on leadership, stoicism, success and life.
I hope you’ll find something here to give you strength, clarity and a simpler and more joyful life.
