- āThink not as your insulter judges or wishes you to judge: but see things as they truly are.ā
- āTo pursue impossibilities is madness; and it is impossible that the wicked should not act in some such way as this.ā

Meditations is a collection of twelve books written by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This set of books was originally compiled in the form of private journals. Marcus Aurelius used these notes as personal guides to live by and to better himself as a ruler.
He compiled these journals during his time as emperor, and while they were not intended for public consumption, there are valuable lessons to be gleaned from his wisdom. The entries include his views of stoicismāthe Hellenistic philosophy devoid of ādestructive emotionsā that could tamper with logicāand its practical use in ruling and military tactics.
