Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is also available under public domain and available here: http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.html



It's good to check a few translations. Some didn't resonate with me in the way they phrased things or their word choice. Same with any classic - stop by a used book store and read the same paragraph a couple times in different translations and see which works for you.


The translation that my friends have recommended is the Hays translation, which seems to be a good one from my reading.


For the record, my favorite is Robert Graves'.


Couldn't agree more. It's a book written in Greek by a Roman - get a readable translation.


Will do, thanks for the suggestion!
