April 4th Reading from The Daily Stoic - Don't Let This Go To Your Head


"Make sure you're not made 'Emperor,' avoid that imperial stain. It can happen to you, so keep yourself simple, good, pure, saintly, plain, a friend of justice, god-fearing, gracious, affectionate, and strong for your proper work. Fight to remain the person that philosophy wished to make you. Revere the gods, and look after each other. Life is short - the fruit of this life is a good character and acts for the common good,"

~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.30
