This is one of the best books I have ever read - I highly recommend it. It inspired Tolstoy, Gandhi, and many many others. There were many quotes in this book that have had a deep impact on me. One I thought was interesting is this: > Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours. It struck me that even if Marcus Aurelius had actually lived a thousand years, he would have died a thousand years ago.
