Neither must he use himself to cut off actions only, but thoughts and imaginations also, that are unnecessary for so will unnecessary consequent actions the better be prevented and cut off.
不但要学会省去多余的行动,也要省去多余的思想与想象;这样,便能更好地避免和消除随之而来的无谓行动。
— Marcus Aurelius · Meditations · Book IV, XX (Meric Casaubon translation, 1634) —
