Meditations · Book IX
Meditations, IX, 13
Chapter 13 of Book IX 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
Today I escaped every trouble — or rather, I threw it out: it was never outside me, but within, in my opinions.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, IX, 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
To-day I have got out of all trouble, or rather I have cast out all trouble, for it was not outside, but within and in my opinions.

In French
Aujourd’hui même je suis sorti des difficultés qui m’embarrassaient, ou plutôt j’ai écarté ces difficultés, car elles n’étaient pas au dehors, mais au dedans de moi-même, dans mes jugements.

Aujourd’hui, je suis sorti de tous mes embarras ; ou, pour mieux dire, j’ai mis tous mes embarras de côté ; car ils n’étaient pas au dehors ; ils étaient tout intérieurs, c’est-à-dire dans les idées que je m’en faisais.
