Meditations · Marcus Aurelius

XXVIII. Thou mayest always speed, if thou wilt but make

choice of the right way; if in the course both of thine

opinions and actions, thou wilt observe a true method.

These two things be common to the souls, as of God, so of men,

and of every reasonable creature, first that in their own

proper work they cannot be hindered by anything: and secondly,

that their happiness doth consist in a disposition to,

and in the practice of righteousness; and that in these their

desire is terminated.
