Meditations
Autor Marcus Aurelius Traducere de George W Chrystalen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2018
All twelve books by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius – his personal guidelines to live and rule well.
- “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 book 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.
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.
- “We have body, soul, and intelligence. To the body belong the senses, to the soul the passions, to the intelligence principles.”

Extras
Book One 1. Courtesy and serenity of temper I first learnt to know from my grandfather Verus.
2. Manliness without ostentation I learnt from what I have heard and remember of my father.
3. My mother set me an example of piety and generosity, avoidance of all uncharitableness - not in actions only, but in thought as well - and a simplicity of life quite unlike the usual habits of the rich.
4. To my great-grandfather I owed the advice to dispense with the education of the schools and have good masters at home instead - and to realize that no expense should be grudged for this purpose.
5. It was my tutor who dissuaded me from patronizing Green or Blue* at the races, or Light or Heavy† in the ring; and encouraged me not to be afraid of work, to be sparing in my wants, attend to my own needs, mind my own business, and never listen to gossip.
* The colours of the rival charioteers in the Circus. Roman enthusiasm for these races was unbounded; successful drivers earned large fortunes and became popular idols.
† In one form of gladiatorial combat (the ‘Thracian’) the opponents were armed with light round bucklers; in another (the ‘Samnite’) they carried heavy oblong shields.
