Ne snatri o posjedovanju onog što nemaš, radije…

“Ne snatri o posjedovanju onog što nemaš, radije razmišljaju o vrhunskim blagoslovima u onome što posjeduješ i stoga podsjećaj sebe koliko bi ti nedostajali da nisu ondje. No istovremeno, moraš paziti da te vlastito uživanje u njima ne navikne na ovisnost, i tako izbjeći nemir ako ih ponekad nema.” quote by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
