Stoic Snippets 245


If the things do not come to you, the pursuits and avoidances of which disturb you, still in a manner you go to them. 

Let then your judgment about them be at rest, and they will remain quiet, and you will not be seen either pursuing or avoiding. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 11.11
