Meditations 7.37

It is a base thing for the countenance to be obedient and to regulate and compose itself as the mind commands, and for the mind not to be regulated and composed by itself.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.37, translated by George Long

It is a shame that while the countenance is subject to the mind, taking its cast and livery from it, the mind cannot take its cast and its livery from itself.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.37, translated by C. R. Haines
