Wisdom From Marcus Aurelius

“4. Focus on what is said when you speak and on what results from each action. Know what the one aims at, and what the other means.”

• Book 7, #4

Excerpt From: Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius. “Meditations.”

“In conversation keep abreast of what is being said, and, in every effort, of what is being done. In the latter see from the first to what end it has reference, and in the former be careful to catch the meaning.”

• Book VII, iv.
