He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161.

Additional quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Why should you feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice.

Pain is the opposite of strength, and so is anger.

If any man can convince me and bring home to me that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change; for I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his deception and ignorance.
