Sorry to burst the bubble but if you look here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius

This isn't a quote by Marcus Aurelius

edit: If you look to the bottom of the page it is under misattributed.

You can't burst a troll's bubble. Look at his other posts. He knows.

It's a good quote, and a good sentiment, but misattributed. If the attribution was "falsely attributed to Marcus Aurelius", we'd be bang alongside it.

[–]imjustalamp 0 points1 point ago

The possibility that he did say it does exist. With that said, it most likely didn't come directly from Aurelius, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy the quote.

On the other hand, OP, this pic has been resposted 10metricshitton times. Please don't post just to get karma.

If there are posts, but reposted, then you should not want to repost them.

Ah, the atheist's wager.

I dont care if its a repost, I haven't seen it before (although I'm not upvoting). And this is my new creed

More people should read the Meditations. That is, if the average lurker on this forum can stop lapping at the sunshine and lollipops that flood out of their own arse for more than a day.
