Wisdom from the Past – Marcus Aurelius.

I have been nominated by https://aguycalledbloke.blog/ for a very interesting challenge “Ancient Authors”

See link below:

Ciceronian

The rules are simple, as always:

• Choose the author or philosopher (it should be one from the Ancient Times). Don’t know anyone? Google it, It shouldn’t be so hard. 
• Choose 3 quotes of this author/philosopher. The country of origin – doesn’t matter (Egypt, Greece…Italy). Add any info or explanation if you like. 
• Share those quotes and nominate 3 to 6 people. 
• The title for the post? Choose something cool.

OK my choice of Ancient Wise One is the great Marcus Aurelius.

He was actually a Roman Emperor  but unlike other Roman emperors you may have heard of, like Caligula and Nero, he wasn’t a debauched power crazed deviant. He was actually a philosopher and very learned man who then became an Emperor and was an extremely beneficent and wise man.

My nominees:

As always, you do not have to take part if you don’t want to or are too busy. You can also save it for when yo1u have a free moment, if you’d rather.

And that will probably do. However if you see this, and fancy having a go then consider yourself nominated!

All the best
