From Marcus Aurelius

“It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character. Otherwise it cannot harm you—inside or out.

Excerpt From: Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius. “Meditations.”

Book # IV, no. 8

Alternate interpretation?

“8. That which does not make a man himself worse than before cannot make his life worse either, nor injure it whether from without or within.”
