The safety of life is this, to examine everything all through, what it is itself, that is its material, what the formal part; with all your soul to do justice and to say the truth.
What remains, except to enjoy life by joining one good thing to another, so as not to leave even the smallest intervals between?
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 12.29
