More from Marcus Aurelius
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 everything else, whether it is in the power of thy will or not, is only lifeless ashes and smoke.
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.
