Meditations, VII, 59
Chapter 59 of Book VII 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
Look within. The spring of good is inside, and it will keep rising if you keep digging.

Look within. The spring of good is inside, and it will keep rising if you keep digging.
— MEDITATIONS VII, 59
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
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

Regarde au dedans de toi-même ! C’est au dedans qu’est la source du bien ; elle peut [toujours] en jaillir, pourvu que tu fouilles toujours.

Regarde au dedans de toi ; c’est au dedans qu’est la source du bien, laquelle peut s’épancher à jamais, si tu sais à jamais la creuser et l’approfondir.
