Marcus Aurelius: “Constantly consider how all things such as they now are, in time past also were; and consider that they will be the same…”

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

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

Depart then satisfied, for he also who releases thee is satisfied.

But intellect in a peculiar manner tends to that which is of the same kin, and combines with it, and the feeling for communion is not interrupted.
