Book VIII · 13

Constantly, and, if it be possible, on the occasion of every impression on the soul, apply to it the principles of Physic, of Ethic, and of Dialectic.

Persistently and, if possible, in every case test thy impressions by the rules of physics, ethics, logic.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VIII.13. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
