Stoic Snippets 167

Wipe out your imaginations by often saying to yourself: 

"Now it is in my power to let no badness be in this soul, nor desire, nor any perturbation at all; but looking at all things I see what is their nature, and I use each according to its value." 

Remember this power which you have from Nature. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.29
