Installation

You can install meditations from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jacobkap/meditations")

Example

This is how to use this simple package. meditations() will print a random quote from the book.

meditations::meditations()
#> [1] "Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be. But thou art thinking only of seeds which are cast into the earth or into a womb: but this is a very vulgar notion."

Choose a number between 1 and 507 (there are only 507 quotes) and it will print that specific quote(s).

meditations::meditations(5)
#> [1] "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."
