Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (often referred to as "the wise") was Emperor of the Roman Empire from 161 to his death in 180. He was the last of the "Five Good Emperors", and is also considered one of the more important Stoic philosophers. His two decades as emperor were marked by near continual warfare. He was faced with a series of invasions from German tribes, and by conflicts with the Parthian Empire in the east. His reign also had to deal with an internal revolt in the east, led by Avidius Cassius.Marcus Aurelius' work Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a government of service and duty and has been praised for its "exquisite accent and its infinite tenderness."

And if all men re­fuse to be­lieve that he lives a simple, mod­est, and con­ten­ted life, he is neither angry with any of them, nor does he de­vi­ate from the way which leads to the end of life, to which a man ought to come pure, tran­quil, ready to de­part, and without any com­pul­sion per­fectly re­con­ciled to his lot.

and in an old wo­man and an old man he will be able to see a cer­tain ma­tur­ity and come­li­ness; and the at­tract­ive love­li­ness of young per­sons he will be able to look on with chaste eyes; and many such things will present them­selves, not pleas­ing to every man, but to him only who has be­come truly fa­mil­iar with nature and her works.
