and further, simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.  \nFrom my great-grandfather, not to have frequented public schools, and to have had good teachers at home, and to know that on such things aman should spend liberally.  \nFrom my governor, tobe neither of the green nor of the blue party at the games in the Circus, nora partizan either of the Parmularius or the Scutarius at the gladiators' fights; from him too I learned endurance of labour, and to want little, and to work with my own hands, and not to meddle with other people's affairs, and not to be ready to listen to slander.  \nFrom Diognetus, not to busy myself about trifling things, and not to give credit to what was said by miracle-workers and jugglers about incantations and the driving away of daemons and such things; and not to breed quails for fighting, nor to give myself up passionately to such things; and to endure freedom of speech; and to have become intimate with philosophy; and to have been a hearer, first of Bacchius, then of Tandasis and Marcianus; and to have written dialogues in my youth; and to have desired a plank bed and skin, and whatever else of the kind belongs to the Grecian discipline.  \nFrom Rusticus I received the impression that my character required improvement and discipline; and from him I learned not to be led astray to sophistic emulation, nor to writing on speculative matters, nor to delivering little hortatory orations, nor to showing myself off as a man who practises much discipline, or does benevolent acts in order to make  \na display; and to abstain from rhetoric, and poetry, and fine writing; and not to walk about in the house in my outdoor dress, nor to do other things of the kind; and to write my letters with simplicity, like the letter which Rusticus wrote from Sinuessa to my mother; and with respect to those who have offended me by words, or done me wrong, to be easily disposed to be pacified and reconciled, as soon as they have shown a readiness to be reconciled; and to read carefully, and not to be satisfied with a superficial understanding of a book; nor hastily to give my assent to those who talk overmuch; and I am indebted to him for being acquainted with the discourses of Epictetus, which he communicated tome out of his own collection.  \nFrom Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness ofpurpose; and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason; and to be always the same, in sharp pains, on the occasion of the loss ofa child, and in long illness; and to see clearly in a living example that the same man can be both most resolute and yielding, and not peevish in giving his instruction; and to have had before my eyes a man who clearly considered his experience and his skill in expounding philosophical principles as the smallest of his merits; and from him I learned how to receive from friends what are esteemed favours, without being either humbled by them or letting them pass unnoticed.  \nFrom Sextus, a benevolent disposition, and the example of a family governed in a fatherly manner, and the idea of living conformably to nature; and gravity without affectation, and to look carefully after the interests of friends, and to tolerate ignorant persons, and those who form opinions without consideration: he had the power of re","cbCaib5loxy5TeiB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib5loxy5TeiB","pdf",471710,67,"English","# Book One\n## Moral education and temperance\n## Discipline, reason, and restraint\n## Piety and simplicity in daily life","[{\"question\":\"What moral lessons does Marcus Aurelius say he learned from his family?\",\"answer\":\"He credits his grandfather and parents with learning good morals, self-control of temper, modesty, piety, beneficence, abstinence from evil, and a simple way of living.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the passage describe Marcus Aurelius’ approach to discipline and daily practice?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights endurance of labor, wanting little, working with his own hands, avoiding partisan behavior at public games, and not meddling in other people’s affairs.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Marcus Aurelius advise about superstition and intellectual judgment?\",\"answer\":\"He rejects belief in miracle-workers and jugglers about incantations and supernatural matters, and urges careful reading and avoiding superficial understanding before giving assent.\"}]","The Meditations - Book 1 | PDF",1792387343,103]
