โSometimes you have to stand alone, not to prove you're right, but to prove you're not afraid of being wrong.โ
- Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius (121โ180 CE) was a Roman emperor, Stoic philosopher, and one of the ancient worldโs most influential thinkers. Born in Rome on April 26, 121 CE, he ruled from 161 until his death in 180. His reign was marked by warfare, political difficulties, and personal tragedy, yet he remained devoted to Stoic principles of reason, discipline, justice, and inner calm.
His private writings, eventually collected as Meditations, were never meant to become a published work. They served as personal reminders about maintaining integrity, accepting what lies beyond our control, and developing strength of character through reason and self-reflection. Centuries later, Meditations remains one of the most widely read works of Stoic philosophy.
Marcus Aurelius is remembered both for his reign as emperor and for the philosophical legacy he left behind. His reflections on resilience, self-control, mortality, and finding peace amid adversity continue to resonate with people navigating the challenges of everyday life.
"If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opens his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York with a sharp rebuke as delegates walk out of the hall in protest of his speech.
The Christian community is not a refuge into which we withdraw in order to protect ourselves from our age. On the contrary, like the cathedrals of old, the Church is a place of welcome, respect, revelation, and meaning for everyone. The strength of a living Church lies in welcoming those on the peripheries who already have a place in her heart; welcoming those who are far away but in reality are already near; welcoming the stranger, in whom Christ is already knocking at the door. #ApostolicJourney #France https://t.co/bqNVwuLgeg
Netanyahu on the leaders of Britain and France:
"They accuse Israel โ little Israel โ of colonialism. And who is doing the accusing?
Among others, people in Britain and France.
For goodness sake, they are the ones who invented this concept โ their colonies stretched across the entire world.
Colonialism? Please, give us a break!"
