Marcus Aurelius, he was a Roman emperor. This book is of notes that he made through his life of things he learned, thoughts, philosophy and everyday occurrences. It is a wonderful look of such a strong person. He was a great man with every great virtue I could think of. Well, the important ones anyhow. Good book to just pick up and flip through, it's like looking through a really old dead man's diary. Well, putting it that way makes it kind of creepy. What's even weird is it was probably written in Latin and someone actually took the pains of translating his personal journal. What weird people scholars can be at times. Oh, well. Good read anyways.
