Stoic Wisdom

Great Quote For Better Friendships

A short piece of stoic philosophy from Meditations

This piece of advice is perhaps one of the most valuable lessons in friendship you can learn. Marcus Aurelius knew the importance of setting things right when needed, instead of trying to feel self-righteous.

“Not to shrug off a friend’s resentment — even unjustified resentment — but try to put things right.”

— Marcus Aurelius, former Roman emperor

The power lies in focussing to make things better, instead of making it a question about who’s right or wrong.
