Meditations 7.69

The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.69, translated by George Long

This is the mark of a perfect character, to pass through each day as if it were the last, without agitation, without torpor, without pretence.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.69, translated by C. R. Haines
