About This Quote
In this quote, Marcus Aurelius explains that reason is better than passion. He is saying that reason is the best tool to use when trying to make a decision, as it is a tool that uses facts and history to guide you. Passion is a part of reason, but passion is not something that should be trusted with important decisions. The two are different sides of the same coin.
