Don’t act as if you’ll live to be a thousand. Your days are numbered like everyone else’s. In what remains of your allotted time, while you still can, become good.
No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be good. Like gold or emerald or purple repeating to itself, “No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be emerald, my color undiminished.”
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, from The Emperor’s Handbook, 2002. [Book 5, 23 & Book 7,15]
