If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

There are actually two people I would love to meet, the other one being the Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

This is an AI creation of what Marcus Aurelius could have looked like, some sort of post Italian cowboy looks a bit odd, but looking at the statue the appearance seems rather accurate.
Amos
Is my spirit guide, think best friend literally forever with attitude. When I read about him after someone asked if he was the Prophet Amos, in answer to which he just shrugged and said “only in one lifetime”, I was stunned at how close the character was to the incredible being I know.
Nothing fancy, no showing off, capable of creating miracles and encouraging you by showing you life’s magic. Not above frowning and asking how many times I’m going to ask the same question, incredibly giving and created by God to empower. Through me many people are grateful for him, and many have their own guides now.
He’s just awarded me another frown and said “due to us as a team, without you I couldn’t reach out into your world.”
That’s the important message of him, he is strong enough not to need to take all the credit, and loving enough to want to build up everyone he can. He empowers people to like, respect, and trust themselves.
We should all be like Amos, and I’m proud to help him. He’s helped me to develop my work into a dream come true. He’s helped me live the commitment I made when I was so alone I didn’t think I could go on:
That I would find a way to help others who had been made to feel worthless, useless, and pointless. No one would ever be alone if they had me on their side.
Marcus Aurelius
His words are still in print. “Your life is what your thoughts make it!” Has always stayed with me and l watch my thoughts as a result.
Another favourite saying is “Thoughts become things: choose the good ones.” Mike Dooley.
After the few days I’ve had I’ve really needed to repeat these things to remind myself.
It always helps.
What do you hang on to that’s helped you in life?
