If you would preserve your life, look thoroughly into everything—matter and cause—and see it for what it is, and to do what is just, and speak what is true with every fiber of your being. What else remains but to experience the true joy of living by stacking one good deed upon another and packing them so tightly that not the slightest chink appears between them.
—Aurelius, Marcus (121 AD – 180 AD). The Emperor’s Handbook. A new translation of Meditations.
