Today’s passage
Nature which governs the whole will soon change all things thou seest, and out of their substance will make other things, and again other things from the substance of them, in order that the world may be ever new.

Read the chapter: Meditations, VII, 25
The line under the passage is its reference — the book and the chapter, in the numbering every edition of the Meditations shares — so the text can be checked in any translation. The wording is the app’s, credited under the card to the edition it is modernized from.
As the widgets compose it: the passage on top, the reference glued underneath, in the smallest family too. A passage longer than a tile holds is never cut; the widget shows a shorter one.
This page shows the 166 free Marcus Aurelius passages of the app in turn, one per day, following the calendar day in Paris. The order is the site’s own: the app and its widgets pick their passage on the device, so they need not show this one today.
In the app, the passage of the day needs no server: the corpus is embedded, so Stoïque works fully offline and from first launch, and the daily notification is computed on the device. Favorites are free, with no limit.
This passage and the 165 other Marcus Aurelius passages are free in Stoïque, each with its reference. The widget puts one referenced passage a day on the Home Screen and on the Lock Screen.
