Meditations 10.22

Either thou livest here and hast already accustomed thyself to it, or thou art going away, and this was thy own will; or thou art dying and hast discharged thy duty. But besides these things there is nothing. Be of good cheer, then.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 10.22, translated by George Long

Either thy life is here and thou art inured to it; or thou goest elsewhere and this with thine own will; or thou diest and hast served out thy service. There is no other alternative. Take heart then.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 10.22, translated by C. R. Haines
