Marcus Aurelius: “This thing, what is it in itself, in its own constitution?”

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

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

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!

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