Marcus Aurelius. To himself (№ 336701)

Do not think that someday you will benefit what will make you once to break the loyalty, discard shame to hate someone, to suspect, to curse, to dissemble, to lust for something that should be hidden behind walls and veils. After all, someone who prefers their own mind, and his demon and officiates at the service of his virtue, not an act of tragic scenes, emit sighs and not feel the need nor alone, nor in the multitude. He will live - and most importantly - not running [for life] and not running away [from it]. It does not care whether his soul is to use a fitted her body longer or shorter period of time. In fact even when you need to leave, he leaves as easily as if you were one of the things, which are modest and decorous, his whole life, fearing just how his thought has not taken any direction, is not peculiar to the reasonable civic creature.
