Meditations, X, 16
Chapter 16 of Book X of the Meditations. First the passage as Stoïque shows it, after Long, 1862; then the whole chapter, word for word, in that edition, and the same chapter in French.
The passage in the app
Stop talking altogether about what a good man should be; be one.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, X, 16
After Long, 1862 — modernized.
On the widgets
Stop talking altogether about what a good man should be; be one.
— MEDITATIONS X, 16
Stop talking altogether about what a good man should be; be one.
— MEDITATIONS X, 16
As on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen: the passage, then its reference, glued to the bottom. The reference never leaves the composition, even in the smallest family.
The whole chapter in Long’s 1862 edition
No longer talk at all about the kind of man that a good man ought to be, but be such.
