Not he that repeateth the name, But he that doeth the will.

ANTONINUS PIUS.

REMEMBER his constancy in every act which was conformable to reason, and his evenness in all things, and his piety, and the serenity of his countenance, and his sweetness, and his disregard of empty fame, and his efforts to understand things; . . . and how he bore with those who blamed him unjustly without blaming them in return; how he did nothing in a hurry; . . . and with how little he was satisfied, such as lodging, bed, dress, food, servants; and how laborious and patient; . . . and how he tolerated freedom of speech in those who opposed his opinions; and the pleasure that he had when any man showed him anything better; and how religious he was, without superstition.
