Stoic Snippets 70


In one respect man is the nearest thing to me, so far as I must do good to men and endure them. 

But so far as some men make themselves obstacles to my proper acts, man becomes to me one of the things which are indifferent, no less than the sun or wind or a wild beast.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.20
