# Overview

View the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius through his quotes from his book Meditations.

## Installation

You can install meditations from github with:

    # install.packages("devtools")
    devtools::install_github("jacobkap/meditations")

## Example

This is how to use this simple package. `meditations()` will print a random quote from the book.

    meditations::meditations()
    #> [1] "Always run to the short way; and the short way is the natural: accordingly say and do everything in conformity with the soundest reason. For such a purpose frees a man from trouble, and warfare, and all artifice and ostentatious display."

Choose a number between 1 and 507 (there are only 507 quotes) and it will print that specific quote(s).

    meditations::meditations(5)
    #> [1] "From my governor, to be neither of the green nor of the blue party at the games in the Circus, nor a partizan either of the Parmularius or the Scutarius at the gladiators' fights; from him too I learned endurance of labour, and to want little, and to work with my own hands, and not to meddle with other people's affairs, and not to be ready to listen to slander."
