"Here's a good way to think about what the masses regard as being 'good' things. If you would first start by setting your mind upon things that are unquestionably good - wisdom, self-control, justice, courage - with this preconception you'll no longer be able to listen to the popular refrain that there are too many good things to experience in a lifetime."
~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.12
