Tweet wisdom to world leaders.

Who was Marcus Aurelius?

He was last of the 5 good emperors of the Roman Empire (reign 161-180AD). He also had a lifelong interest in philosophy.

Marcus read in the school of the Stoics, an austere philosophy usually summarized by the maxim


virtue is the only good

Marcus wrote his thoughts for his own use, known today as the Meditations. This text is not only a valuable source of Stoic philosophy in the 2nd century AD but a headspring of wisdom.

Listen to Marcus, listen to his thoughts, and follow on twitter.
