Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

說奧略流（Marcus Aulerius）是偉大的皇帝，這當然有一點問題。但是，毫無疑問的，他是一位偉大的思想家。
他宗信的是斯多葛(Stoicism)的思想。在中文裏，很少人用這個詞來形容個人的品格，但是在日文，ストイック（stoic）很常出現。可是在當代的臺灣，很多人聽到ストイック時，聼不懂是什麽意思。20多年前吧，有一次一個日本回來台灣的作家稱讚李登輝為一個很stoic 的人。當時年輕的記者不知道什麽是ストイック，就問她。結果她解釋了之後，記者就寫說“李登輝的禁欲精神（或可能是人品）是他成就這麽多更革的基礎”。
ストイック：堅持真理，克服物質的欲望，滿足樂觀。
