Marcus Aurelius: “It is peculiar to man to love even those who do wrong.”

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

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.

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

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