On his large, electrical sign at Kirbyville Automotive my friend Shannon Davis posted this quote from Marcus Aurelius:
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
One does not imagine that quotations from a Roman philosopher and emperor are commonly found on roadside advertising in East Texas.
Update: Apparently Marcus Aurelius did not say this at all. This is just another misquote circling around on the InterGossip and believed by people like me who tend to trust maybe a little too much.
But I wish the man had said it anyway.
