Meditations 8.23

Am I doing anything? I do it with reference to the good of mankind. Does anything happen to me? I receive it and refer it to the gods, and the source of all things, from which all that happens is derived.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.23, translated by George Long

Am I doing some thing? I do it with reference to the well-being of mankind. Does something befall me? I accept it with a reference to the Gods and to the Source of all things from which issue, linked together, the things that come into being.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.23, translated by C. R. Haines
