Names
When you have assumed these names -Good,modest, true, rational, a man of equanimity
magnanimous - take care that you don't change these names
Rational - discriminating attention to everything and freedom from negligence
Equanimity - Voluntary acceptance of things which are assigned to you by common nature
Magnanimity - Elevation of the intelligent part above pleasure or pain and above that poor thing called Fame
If then you maintain thyself in possession of these names
without deserving to be called those name by others
you will be another person and
will enter another Life!

Marcus Aurelius
