Generally, wickedness does no harm at all to the universe; and particularly the wickedness [of one man] does no harm to another. It is only harmful to him who has it in his power to be released from it as soon as he shall choose.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VIII.55. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
