Quote by Marcus Aurelius
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more

Other quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Always observe how ephemeral and worthless human things are. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew. – Marcus Aurelius
