The Marcus Aurelius Quote He Never Wrote
About this episode
One of Marcus Aurelius's most famous online quotes does not appear in the Meditations. In this episode, I look at several fabricated, misattributed and over-smoothed Stoic quotes, including one I used myself.
The point is bigger than pedantry. A philosophy built on checking impressions should not be taught through claims nobody checked.
