Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river; the "what" is in constant flux, the "why" has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what's right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
Marcus AureliusRemember that all things are only opinion and that it is in your power to think as you please.
Marcus AureliusRegain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.
Marcus AureliusAll things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
