Meditations, VIII, 13
Chapter 13 of Book VIII 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
Constantly, and, if it be possible, on the occasion of every impression on the soul, apply to it the principles of Physic, of Ethic, and of Dialectic.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, VIII, 13
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
Constantly, and, if it be possible, on the occasion of every impression on the soul, apply to it the principles of Physic, of Ethic, and of Dialectic.

En présence de toute perception sensible, aie toujours le soin, si tu le peux, de distinguer la nature de l’objet, l’impression qu’il fait sur toi et les raisonnements que tu en tires.
