Meditations, IV, 22
Chapter 22 of Book IV 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
Do not be whirled about, but in every movement have respect to justice, and on the occasion of every impression maintain the faculty of comprehension [or understanding].
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, IV, 22
After Long, 1862 — modernized.
On the widgets
Not every widget family holds a passage this long. The app never cuts one: where it does not fit, a shorter passage takes its place, with its reference. The circular widget carries the locator alone.
The whole chapter in Long’s 1862 edition
Do not be whirled about, but in every movement have respect to justice, and on the occasion of every impression maintain the faculty of comprehension or understanding.

In French
Ne te laisse pas étourdir ; mais que tout mouvement de ton âme se traduise par une action juste et que toutes tes représentations laissent intacte la raison qui voit clair en elles.

Ne point se laisser entraîner par le tourbillon ; mais, dans toute entreprise, s’appliquer à ce qui est juste ; et, dans toute pensée, conserver avant tout la plénitude de l’intelligence, qui comprend les choses.
