Meditations, VIII, 33
Chapter 33 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
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, VIII, 33

Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.

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
Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.
