Meditations 4.16

Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 4.16, translated by George Long

Ere ten days are past, thou shalt rank as a god with them that hold thee now a wild-beast or an ape, if thou but turn back to thy axioms and thy reverence of reason.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 4.16, translated by C. R. Haines
