Marcus Aurelius: “And on the occasion of everything which happens keep this in mind, that it is that which thou hast often seen.”

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

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.

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.
