Marcus Aurelius: “No joining others in their wailing, no violent emotion.”

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

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

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 intelligent soul, though it seems to be divided.
