From Marcus Aurelius
6. “Practice that also wherein thou hast no expectation of success. For even the left hand, which for every other function is inefficient by reason of a want of practice, has yet a firmer grip of the bridle than the right. For it has had practice in this.”
- Excerpt From: Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius. “Meditations.”
Book #12
“6. Practice even what seems impossible. The left hand is useless at almost everything for lack of practice. But it guides the reins better than the right. From practice.”
