Though professing philosophy as his guide in life and following her rule,
Marcus Aurelus makes no pretence to learning or wisdom for himself.
“I have learned from my grandfather Verus : the lessons of noble character and
even temper.
From my father's reputation and my memory of him: modesty and manliness.
From my mother: piety and bountifulness, to keep myself not only from doing
evil but even from dwelling on evil thoughts, simplicity too in diet and to be
far removed from the ways of the rich.
From my mother's grandfather: not to have attended public schools but enjoyed
good teachers at home, and to have learned the lesson that on things like
these it is a duty to spend liberally.
From my tutor: not to become a partisan of the Green jacket or the Blue in the
races, nor of Thracian or Samnite gladiators; to bear pain and be content with
little; to work with my own hands, to mind my own business, and to be slow to
listen to slander.”
