Voices in the library

Also in the library

Names appear here because their words are in the library, each with its source — not as endorsements of this site.

Trust, itemized

The internet is full of beautiful words credited to the wrong people. A quote only enters the library when we can show where it lives.

Exact wording
Copied from a named edition — the book, scripture or transcript itself.
A locator you can check
Chapter, section or passage number, with a link to the source.
A verification tier
Verified: we saw the words in the primary source. Sourced: a reliable researcher traced them to one.
Rights, stated
Nearly every quote is in the public domain. The few that are free only in the US say so on their receipt.

Often shared as Marcus Aurelius

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

A paraphrase: the second half appears in no translation we checked.

What the receipt shows

…very little indeed is necessary for living a happy life.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VII.67 · tr. George Long, 1862 · See the receipt
