Marcus Aurelius: “Why do unskilled and ignorant souls disturb him who has skill and knowledge?”

What remains, except to enjoy life by joining one good thing to another so as not to leave even the smallest intervals between?

But it is inconsistent with honoring reason and God to be troubled because by death a man will be deprived of the other things.

But if it is easy to set little value on all these things, turn to that which remains, which is to follow reason and God.

There is one light of the sun, though it is interrupted by walls, mountains, and other things infinite.
