Book IV · 34

Willingly give thyself up to Clotho [one of the fates], allowing her to spin thy thread into whatever things she pleases.

Offer thyself whole-heartedly to Clotho, letting her spin thy thread to serve what purpose soever she will.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations IV.34. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
