Using meditations

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] "For thus it is, men of Athens, in truth: wherever a man has placed himself thinking it the best place for him, or has been placed by a commander, there in my opinion he ought to stay and to abide the hazard, taking nothing into the reckoning, either death or anything else, before the baseness of deserting his post."

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

meditations::meditations(263)
#> [1] "Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig."
