Meditations, IX, 20
Chapter 20 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
It is thy duty to leave another man's wrongful act there where it is.

On the widgets

It is thy duty to leave another man's wrongful act there where it is.
— MEDITATIONS IX, 20
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
It is thy duty to leave another man's wrongful act there where it is (vii. 29; ix. 38).
