Just thoughts and words that never lie

 What then is that about which we ought to employ our serious pains? This one thing, thoughts just, and acts social, and words which never lie, and a disposition which gladly accepts all that happens, as necessary, as usual, as flowing from a principle and source of the same kind. Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 4.
