Meditations X.25
He that flies from his master is a runaway. But the Law is our master,36 and he that transgresses the Law is a runaway. Now he also, that is moved by grief or wrath or fear, is fain that something should not have happened or be happening or happen in the future of what has been ordained by that which controls the whole Universe, that is by the Law laying down all that falls to a man’s lot. He then is a runaway who is moved by fear, grief, or wrath.
