Sonnets from Marcus Aurelius (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sonnets From Marcus Aurelius <p>At early morning warn yourself thus: Today I shall happen on busy-bodies, ungrateful fellows, ih solent boors, deceitful plotters, spiteful churls, un kind neighbors. All these ills have befallen them by reason of their ignorance of good and evil. But I have understood the nature of the good, that it is beautiful, and of the evil, that it is ugly, and of the ill-behaved man himself, that he is of the same source, kith and kin, with me - not of the same blood and flesh, but sharing in reason and a divine part; for which cause I neither can be injured by any one of them (since no one can wrap me up in baseness) nor can I be angry or hold bitter feeling against this kinsman of mine. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
