Show Wisdom of Antoninus For a man can lose neither the past nor the future; for how can one take from him that which is not his? So remember these two points: First, that each thing is of like form, trom 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 (121-1S0 A. D.). "Meditations." |
