Duty to abide the hazard

Wherever a man has placed himself thinking it the best place for him, or has been placed by a commander, there in my opinion he ought to stay and to abide the hazard, taking nothing into the reckoning, either death or anything else.  Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 7.
