Book VI · 53

Accustom thyself to attend carefully to what is said by another, and as much as it is possible, be in the speaker's mind.

Train thyself to pay careful attention to what is being said by another and as far as possible enter into his soul.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VI.53. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
