Think constantly, both as a Roman and as a man, to do the
task before you with perfect and simple dignity, and with kindness, freedom,
and justice. Try to forget everything else. And you will be able to do so if
you undertake every action in your life as if it were the last, leaving aside
all negligence and the opposition of passion to the dictates of reason, and
leaving aside also all hypocrisy, egotism, and rebelliousness against your own lot.
Marcus Aurelius
