Thought From Marcus Aurelius

“25. Another does me some wrong? He shall see to it. His disposition is his own, his activities are his own. What the universal Nature wills me to have now, that I now have, and what my nature wills me now to do, that I do.”

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

“25. So other people hurt me? That’s their problem. Their character and actions are not mine. What is done to me is ordained by nature, what I do my own.”
