What then is there which still detains thee here? If the objects of sense are easily changed and never stand still, and the organs of perception are dull and easily receive false impressions..Why, what else than to venerate the gods and bless them, and to do good to men, and to practice tolerance and self-restraint. Marcus Aurelius. Meditations. Book 5.
