By Marcus Aurelius: Roman Emperor and Stoic Philosopher
“He who loves glory thinks the activity of another to be his own good; he who loves pleasure thinks his own feeling to be good; he who has intelligence thinks his own action to be good.”
“Do not be ashamed to be helped; the task before you is to accomplish what falls to your lot, like a soldier in a storming party. Suppose you are lame and cannot scale the wall by yourself, yet it can be done with another’s help.”
