The Meditations Of Marcus Aurelius

The Meditations Of Marcus Aurelius with Paul McPharlin Illustrations - The Peter Pauper Press

About this rare book: “At times it seems repetitious. Remember that its pages are composed of meditations intended for no eye but that of Marcus Aurelius. They were jotted down while he was leading his armies in the field, amid the business of the city - with no attempt at style or correct writing. They are the life guiding precepts of a man, a great emperor, who lived in a time equally as hectic as our own. He was, as Matthew Arnold said, “one of those hope inspiring marks, which stand forever to remind our week and easily discouraged race how high human goodness and perseverance have once been carried, and may be carried again.” I hope it brings you a rich moment or two.” -John Johnson
