The Commons: Marcus Aurelius on Difficult People


Listen Later

In this episode, Brian offers some thoughts about school life and leadership based on the following quote from Marcus Aurelius:


“First thing every morning tell yourself: today I am going to meet a busybody, an ingrate, a bully, a liar, a schemer, and a boor. Ignorance of good and evil has made them what they are. But I know that the good is by nature beautiful and the bad ugly, and I know that these wrong-doers are by nature my brothers, not by blood or breeding, but by being similarly endowed with reason and sharing in the divine.”
