Don’t rely on
others to direct your
conduct. Be determined in
holding to the good
at every turn.
third changing line
from The I Ching, or Book of Changes
Hexagram 16, Yü / Enthusiasm
☯️
Keep yourself simple,
good, guileless, dignified, unpretentious,
devoted to justice, pious, kind, affectionate to others,
and resolute in carrying out your proper tasks. Strive to be and
remain the kind of person philosophy would have you be.
Revere the gods and keep men safe. Life is short.
There’s only one crop to be reaped from your
time on earth, and that is a reverential
disposition and socially
useful actions.
Marcus Aurelius
