I'm trying to find this Marcus Aurelius quote in Latin and I am having trouble...

"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."

That is because Marcus Aurelius wrote in Greek. I do not know if a Latin translation of that quote exists.

Apparently there were some Latin writings, letters mostly, but I think the quote you have here came from his Meditations, which was written in Greek. Were you wanting a Latin translation, or the original Greek?

This seems to be something that would have been in his 'Meditations', although I don't recall the specific quotation. The problem is that even though Marcus Aurelius was as Roman as they come, he wrote in Greek, and odds are that any memorable quotation from him would be in Greek, not Latin.
