Marcus Aurelius: “And what is it in any way to thee if these men of after time utter this or that sound, or have this or that opinion…”

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

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 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.
