Marcus Aurelius: “Thou sufferest this justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.”

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

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!

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

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.
