Meditations, VIII, 59
Chapter 59 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
People exist for one another. So teach them, or bear with them.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, VIII, 59
After Long, 1862 — modernized.
On the widgets
People exist for one another. So teach them, or bear with them.
— MEDITATIONS VIII, 59
People exist for one another. So teach them, or bear with them.
— MEDITATIONS VIII, 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
Men exist for the sake of one another. Teach them then, or bear with them.
