Marcus Aurelius Wrapped Canvas Art Print, Philosophy Gift for Stoic, Christmas Gift for Husband, Positive Affirmation, Stoicism Art
Original hand-drawn artwork portrait of Epictetus, featuring a quote from this Stoic philosopher:
"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one."
- Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors. His personal journals, published as “Meditations,” are a significant source of our modern understanding of ancient Stoic philosophy. His words seem to ring across time and space with an urgent relevance in these modern times. In this quote, Marcus Aurelius seems to call to today’s person, obsessed with content, outrage, and drama over outside events and debates of what’s “better.” We can have endless discussions about what’s right and wrong. What’s a man?’ What does it mean to be a feminist? What should we do in this hypothetical situation or that one?
To lead by example is what Aurelius was reminding himself when he wrote these words in Meditations, originally intended only for his own reflection. Centuries later, we could all use more ways to remind ourselves of this universal truth.
