Shout out to Marcus
-
Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor-philosopher, the famous equestrian statue of whom only survived early Christian idol-bashing because they thought it was of Constantine.
He coined the word "cosmopolitan" in his statement, "Do not say 'I am an Athenian' or 'I am a Roman' but 'I am a citizen of the universe.'"
But my favorite saying of his is this:
"The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing."
