Marcus Aurelius: “All things come from thence, from that universal ruling power, either directly proceeding or by way of sequence.”

How small a part of the boundless and unfathomable time is assigned to every man, for it is very soon swallowed up in the eternal!

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 intelligent soul, though it seems to be divided.

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.
