Aurelius - Meditations 3:8

3:8 – In the mind of a man of chastened and purified spirit you will find no trace of festering wound, no ulceration, no abscess beneath the skin. The hour of fate does not surprise his life before its fulfillment, so that one would say that the actor is leaving the stage before he has fulfilled his role, before the play is over. You will find nothing servile or artificial, no dependence on others nor detachment from them; nothing worthy of blame, nothing that needs a hiding-place.
