Be not discontented, be not disheartened, be not out of hope, if often it succeed not so well with thee punctually and precisely to do all things according to the right dogmata, but being once cast off, return unto them again.
如果你常常未能严格依照正确的原则做好每件事,不要不满,不要灰心,不要失去希望;一旦偏离,就再次回到这些原则上来。
— Marcus Aurelius · Meditations · Book V, IX (Meric Casaubon translation, 1634) —
