When you face someone’s insults, hatred, whatever…look at his soul. Get inside him. Look at what sort of person he is. You’ll find you don’t need to strain to impress him.

But you do have to wish him well. He’s your closest relative. The gods assist him just as they do you,

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

As an added bonus, I’d like to share an exciting new page I’ve added to the website: Favorite Book Takeaways.

So far, I’ve captured some of my favorite takeaways from Meditations at that page, including the quote above. Over time, I expect to add more content from other sources, but the exact format, timeline, etc. is still up in the air.

I got a lot out of the process of writing this page, and I hope it brings you value too.

What’s your favorite passage?
