Thou must be like a promontory of the sea, against which though the waves beat continually, yet it both itself stands, and about it are those swelling waves stilled and quieted.
你应当像海边的岬角,任凭波浪不断拍打,依然屹立,并让周围汹涌的海浪平息下来。
— Marcus Aurelius · Meditations · Book IV, XL (Meric Casaubon translation, 1634) —
