More from Marcus Aurelius
There is one light of the sun, though it is interrupted by walls, mountains, and other things infinite.
The safety of life is this, to examine everything all through, what it is itself, that is its material, what the formal part; with all thy soul to do justice and to say the truth.
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.
