Meditations 12.22.1

Marcus Aurelius to himself

Ὅτι πάντα ὑπόληψις καὶ αὕτη ἐπὶ σοί. ἆρον οὖν ὅτε θέλεις τὴν ὑπόληψιν καὶ ὥσπερ κάμψαντι τὴν ἄκραν γαλήνη, σταθερὰ πάντα καὶ κόλπος ἀκύμων.

Everything is judgment, and that is up to you. Remove the judgment whenever you wish, and, as for someone who has rounded the headland, there is calm: everything steady, and a bay without waves.
