Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.
Marcus Aurelius

As for others whose lives are not so ordered, he reminds himself constantly of the characters they exhibit daily and nightly at home and abroad, and of the sort of society they frequent and the approval of such men, who do not even stand well in their own eyes, has no value for him.
Marcus Aurelius
