Marcus Aurelius: “I observed, too, that no man could ever think that he was despised by Maximus, or ever venture to think himself a better…”

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

There is one intelligent soul, though it seems to be divided.

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

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.
