Marcus Aurelius: “He who does wrong does wrong against himself.”

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!

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

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.
