-From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals and the government
-of my temper. 
-
-From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly
-character. 
-
-From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence, not only from
-evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts; and further, simplicity in
-my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.
-
-From my great-grandfather, not to have frequented public schools,
-and to have had good teachers at home, and to know that on such things
-a man should spend liberally. 
-
-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. 
-
-From Diognetus, not to busy myself about trifling things, and not
-to give credit to what was said by miracle-workers and jugglers about
-incantations and the driving away of daemons and such things; and
-not to breed quails for fighting, nor to give myself up passionately
-to such things; and to endure freedom of speech; and to have become
-intimate with philosophy; and to have been a hearer, first of Bacchius,
-then of Tandasis and Marcianus; and to have written dialogues in my
-youth; and to have desired a plank bed and skin, and whatever else
-of the kind belongs to the Grecian discipline. 
-
-From Rusticus I received the impression that my character required
-improvement and discipline; and from him I learned not to be led astray
-to sophistic emulation, nor to writing on speculative matters, nor
-to delivering little hortatory orations, nor to showing myself off
-as a man who practises much discipline, or does benevolent acts in
-order to make a display; and to abstain from rhetoric, and poetry,
-and fine writing; and not to walk about in the house in my outdoor
-dress, nor to do other things of the kind; and to write my letters
-with simplicity, like the letter which Rusticus wrote from Sinuessa
-to my mother; and with respect to those who have offended me by words,
-or done me wrong, to be easily disposed to be pacified and reconciled,
-as soon as they have shown a readiness to be reconciled; and to read
-carefully, and not to be satisfied with a superficial understanding
-of a book; nor hastily to give my assent to those who talk overmuch;
-and I am indebted to him for being acquainted with the discourses
-of Epictetus, which he communicated to me out of his own collection.
-
-From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness
-of purpose; and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except
-to reason; and to be always the same, in sharp pains, on the occasion
-of the loss of a child, and in long illness; and to see clearly in
-a living example that the same man can be both most resolute and yielding,
-and not peevish in giving his instruction; and to have had before
-my eyes a man who clearly considered his experience and his skill
-in expounding philosophical principles as the smallest of his merits;
-and from him I learned how to receive from friends what are esteemed
-favours, without being either humbled by them or letting them pass
-unnoticed.
