Meditations, VI, 54
Chapter 54 of Book VI 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.

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
That which is not good for the swarm, neither is it good for the bee.
