Stoic Snippets 155


Remember that to change your opinion and to follow him who corrects your error is as consistent with freedom as it is to persist in your error. 

For it is your own, the activity which is exerted according to your own movement and judgment, and indeed according to your own understanding too. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.16
