More from Marcus Aurelius
From thence all things flow; and there is besides necessity, and that which is for the advantage of the whole universe, of which thou art a part.
Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial.
But if there is a providence which allows itself to be propitiated, make thyself worthy of the help of the divinity.
