Meditations 9.7

Wipe out imagination; check desire: extinguish appetite: keep the ruling faculty in its own power.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.7, translated by George Long

Efface imagination. Restrain impulse. Quench desire. Keep the ruling Reason in thine own power.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.7, translated by C. R. Haines
