On the occasion of every act ask yourself, how is this with respect to me? Shall I repent of it?
A little time and I am dead, and all is gone.
What more do I seek, if what I am now doing is the work of an intelligent living being, and a social being, and one who is under the same law with God?
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.2
