From “The Meditations”

Every moment think steadily as a Roman and a man to do what thou hastin hand with perfect and simple dignity, and feeling of affection,and freedom, and justice; and to give thyself relief from all otherthoughts. And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every actof thy life as if it were the last, laying aside all carelessnessand passionate aversion from the commands of reason, and all hypocrisy,and self-love, and discontent with the portion which has been givento thee. Thou seest how few the things are, the which if a man layshold of, he is able to live a life which flows in quiet, and is likethe existence of the gods; for the gods on their part will requirenothing more from him who observes these things.

-Marcus Aurelius
