Marcus Aurelius: “In the next place remember that neither the future nor the past pains thee, but only the present.”

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.

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.

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

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!
