Meditations 10.29

Severally on the occasion of everything that thou dost, pause and ask thyself if death is a dreadful thing because it deprives thee of this.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 10.29, translated by George Long

In every act of thine pause at each step and ask thyself: Is death to be dreaded for the loss of this?

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 10.29, translated by C. R. Haines
