Mike likes the way that Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, wrote ‘to himself’ in his ‘Meditations’ as Mike often puts things down on paper for his own benefit, hoping that it will help him to work out his view on a matter!

Very often simple and succinct, the philosopher emperor’s observations and comments are thought provoking and memorable, including the following:

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

“Our life is what our thoughts make it.”

“The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.”

However, Mike’s best ever nugget from Marcus Aurelius is a statement that is centuries ahead of its time in its profound environmental significance:

“That which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees.”
