"Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, think of the good qualities of those who live with you:
such as the energy of one, the decency of another, the generosity of another, and some other quality
in someone else. There is nothing so cheering as the images of the virtues displayed in the
characters of those who live with you, and grouped together as far as possible. So you should keep them ready at hand."
~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.48
