"It is possible to depart from life..." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“And in the case of superior things like stars, we discover a kind of unity in separation. The higher we rise on the scale of being, the easier it is to discern a connection even among things separated by vast distances.”

“Let your one delight and refreshment be to pass from one service to the community to another, with God ever in mind.”

“The act of dying is one of the acts of life.”

“Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.”

“Account no man happy till he dies.”

“I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die.”

“There is one respect in which beasts show real wisdom... their quiet, placid enjoyment of the present moment.”

“This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

“For there is never anything but the present, and if one cannot live there, one cannot live anywhere.”
