Show Wisdom of Antoninus For a man can lose neither the past nor the future; for bow can one take from him that which is not his? So remember these two points: First, that each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again In its cycle and that It signifies not whether a man shall look upon the same things for a hundred years or two hundred, or for an infinity of time; second, that the longest lived and the shortest lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (1211S0 A. D.). "Meditations." |
