Marcus Aurelius Quotes

In The Human Life Time Is But An Instant, And The Substance Of It A Flux, And The Perception Dull, And The Composition Of The Whole Body Subject To Putrefaction, And The Soul A Whirl, And Fortune Hard To Divine, And Fame A Thing Devoid Of Certainty. And, To Say All In A Word, Everything That Belongs To The Body Is A Stream, And What Belongs To The Soul Is A Dream And Vapor, And Life Is A Warfare And A Stranger's Sojourn, And After- Fame Is Oblivion. What Then Can Guide A Man? One Thing And Only One, Philosophy.
