Moral Quote by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
““Mrk pogled na licu protivan je prirodi, a kad postane uobičajenim, izražajnost počinje umirati ili je već konačno ugasla i ne može je se više užgati. Pokušavaj poštivati tu prosudbu- da je to nešto protivno razumu. U polju moralna ponašanja, ako nestane čak i svijest o pogrešnome, ostaje li za život još imalo razuma?””
