Aurelije Quote by Marcus Aurelius, Meditacije
““Većina onoga što govorimo i što činimo nepotrebno je - ukloni površnost i imat ćeš više vremena i manje briga. Stoga bi svatko, u svakoj prilici, trebao sebe podsjetiti: ''Je li ovo, ili nije, nešto neophodno ?'' Uklanjanje nepotrebnoga trebalo bi primijeniti ne samo na djela nego i na misli - tada ne bi dolazilo do suvišnih djela.””
