Objective judgment, now, at this very moment. Unselfish action, now, at this very moment. Willing acceptance—now, at this very moment—of all external events. That’s all you need.
— Marcus Aurelius
Meditations, Book 9
Commentary
This quote by Marcus Aurelius highlights the Stoic concept of judgment and action. The wisdom found in Meditations remains highly relevant today, reminding us to focus on our inner state rather than external circumstances.
