Aurelius, Meditations 4.43: Let thy course ever be the most compendious way.
aurelius meditations
Let thy course ever be the most compendious way. The most compendious, is that which is according to nature: that is, in all both words and deeds, ever to follow that which is most sound and perfect. For such a resolution will free a man from all trouble, strife, dissembling, and ostentation.
