"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."Meditations is a series of personal reflections by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161180 CE, written over a series of years in far-flung places as he led the Romans in military campaigns, quashed revolts, and dealt with the other tribulations of governing the Empire. It is best described as a spiritual journal, containing a record of the emperors philosophical exercises. Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. The writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. He covers topics as diverse as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods, and his own emotions, spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation. Aurelius also sets forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy. The influence Meditations has had over centuries of thought is immeasurable. This "unendingly moving and inspiring" work is often cited alongside Jean Jacques Rousseaus Confessions and St. Augustines Confessions in discussions of the most profoundly spiritual works outside of the Bible. Recently, former U.S. President Bill Clinton called Meditations his favorite book.

Siempre en todo momento debemos hacer lo que de nosotros depende, permaneciendo firmes y tranquilos respecto a los demás. EpictetoNo importa el caudal del tiempo que se te dé si no hay donde se deposite: se escurre a traves de las grietas y agujeros del alma no trabajada. SenecaLa perfeccion de las costumbres lleva consigo el que se sirva cada dia como si fuese el ultimo de la vida, sin apresurarse, no desanimarse y obrar con ficcion. Marco Aurelio

Meditations by Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius (Koin? Greek: ? ? ??, romanized: Ta eis heauton, lit.things to ones self) is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.

Marco Aurelio reinó en un tiempo turbulento: el inicio de la crisis general que vivirá el Imperio a lo largo del siglo III. Hispania y la Galia vivían en agitación, en Egipto y en Siria tenían lugar serios levantamientos, mientras que a lo largo del Danubio los barbaros germanos traspasaban el limes o frontera romana para saquear las regiones fronterizas. Pero en tiempos de tribulacion, el sabio emperador supo mantener la templanza con la ayuda del arma mas poderosa: el amor a la filosofia con el que nutria su espiritu durante los descansos que le daba su intensa actividad belica. El emperador dejo escritos estos soliloquios en unos cuadernos que le granjearian, contra lo que el mismo habia previsto, una fama que superaria el paso de siglos, y milenios. Los doce libros en que se organizan estas Meditaciones, tambien tituladas Pensamientos a si mismo, una de las mejores sintesis de filosofia estoica, conforman luminoso conjunto de sentencias breves en la que el emperador reflexiona sobre asuntos como la libertad de la condicion humana, la fugacidad del tiempo, la justificacion de la moral o la esencia de la buena vida.
