Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.
This comes from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.33. He asks what is enough for a man until his time runs out, and his answer includes doing good to men and practicing "tolerance and self-restraint," as George Long's 1862 translation has it. The wording on the shirt follows a modern translation of the same passage. Most men run this rule backwards. We excuse ourselves and judge everyone else. Marcus turned it around: hold yourself to the standard you'd like to hold others to, and give others the patience you'd want on your worst day.
This version sets the line around an engraved laurel-crowned bust of Marcus Aurelius.
For men who keep the hard standard for the man in the mirror. A good reminder for fathers, coaches and anyone else people look to.
