You have the power to strip away many superfluous troubles located wholly in your judgment, and to possess a large room for yourself embracing in thought the whole cosmos, to consider everlasting time, to think of the rapid change in the parts of each thing, of how short it is from birth until dissolution, and how the void before birth and that after dissolution are equally infinite.

Marcus Aurelius Ancient Roman History Books Editorial Review
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius paperback translation by Gregory Hays has been positively reviewed for its translation, which is described as fluid and incisive, and fits the broader cultural context of late Roman attitudes towards life, philosophy, and religion. Marcus Aurelius' spiritual exercises reveal new insights and angles that give the Meditations rich depth, though the tension between the author's intent as personal spiritual exercises and the book's acquired status as a work for the ages is noted. There are also tensions between living in the present and being strategic in shaping the future. Despite this, the work offers a generally positive message promoting virtues of tolerance and being content with one's lot in life. The antiquated style may mean it's best dipped into rather than read straight through, but the work is praised for containing simple wisdom with favorite lines quoted by reviewers. Overall, the work is highly recommended to those interested in Meditations and philosophy.
