Watch your deeds. Marcus Aurelius 6.3

Marcus wants to pay attention to everything he does. See every action. Know its purpose, and the worth it expresses in fulfilling that purpose.


Ἔσω βλέπε· μηδενὸς πράγματος μήτε ἡ ἰδία ποιότης μήτε ἡ ἀξία παρατρεχέτω σε.


Look inward. Let the unique quality and worth of no deed escape you.
