"How soon will time cover all things...." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.”

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”

“Ifit be a thing external that causes thy grief, know, that it is not that properly that doth cause it, but thine own conceit and opinion concerning the thing: which thou mayest ridthyself of, when thou wilt.”

“Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore, so do our minutes, hasten to their end.”

“All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.”

“Change is the only constant.”

“People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.”

“Poems On Time The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”

“I never see why we should do anything unless it is either a duty or a pleasure! Life's short enough without filling up hours unnecessarily”
