„Fogadd a dolgokat gőg nélkül, válj meg tőlük könnyű szívvel.”

„A nap mintha szétömlene, s bár mindenüvé jut belőle, mégsem apad ki. Ez onnan van, hogy szétömlése tulajdonképpen kisugárzás. Ettől a kisugárzástól kapta a "napsugár" is a nevét. Hogy milyen a napsugár, azt megláthatod, ha megfigyeled a sötét helyiségbe valami résen át behatoló napfényt: egyenes sugárban terjed, mintegy nekifeszül az útjában álló szilárd tárgynak, amely elzárja előle a mögötte levő űrt.”

Ott megáll, el sem csúszik, le sem esik. Ugyanígy kell értelmednek áradni és szétömleni: de nem kiapadni, hanem folyton sugárzani - a szembenálló akadályokra nem erőszakosan vagy szenvedélyesen ráfeszülni, nem esni le, hanem ott maradni, és azt, ami a fénye számára hozzáférhető, megvilágítani. Ami pedig visszautasítja, az maga magát fosztja meg a fénytől.

Marcus Aurelius: Idézetek angolul

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

This quote may be a paraphrase of Meditations, Book II:
Since it is possible that thou mayest depart from life this very moment, regulate every act and thought accordingly.
But to go away from among men, if there are gods, is not a thing to be afraid of, for the gods will not involve thee in evil;
but if indeed they do not exist, or if they have no concern about human affairs, what is it to me to live in a universe devoid of gods or devoid of Providence?
But Gods there are, undoubtedly, and they regard human affairs; and have put it wholly in our power, that we should not fall into what is truly evil
