Stoic Snippets 208


Hasten to examine your own ruling faculty, and that of the Universe, and that of your neighbor. 

Your own, that you may make it just; and that of the Universe, that you may remember of what you are a part; and that of your neighbor, that you may know whether he has acted ignorantly or with knowledge, and you may also consider that his ruling faculty is akin to yours. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.22
