A collection of powerful quotes to live by from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca & Epictetus and narrated by Chris Lines. Aurelius had the burden of managing the largest empire the world had ever seen as the emperor of Rome. He would go on to have a prosperous rule for 20 years and went down in history as one of the great rulers. Epictetus who was born a slave asked his master for permission to study. He was granted this right and went on to teach philosophy in Rome. Seneca who was a successful financial clerk and writer found himself exiled for adultery. He was later hired to tutor a young bov called Nero who would become a tvrannical emperor of Rome. Nero later had Seneca execute himself for allegedly conspiring against him. A claim that was most likely untrue. Each of these men faced great challenges in their lives and were able to navigate them through the philosophy of stoicism. I hope that this video is able help you learn the same principles used by these legendary figures.
