Background
This quote is attributed to Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, though it may be a paraphrase of his ideas rather than a direct quote.
It suggests that inner peace and self-acceptance lead to a harmonious relationship with the world around us.

About the Author
Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE), a Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher known for his personal writings collected in Meditations.
In Meditations, he emphasized accepting one’s role in the larger order of the universe, cultivating inner peace, and embracing virtues like patience and resilience.
These reflections, originally intended as his private notes, convey the Stoic ideals of self-discipline, rationality, and inner harmony.
