"In the life of man ...."



In the life of man, his time is but an instant, his substance ceaselessly changing, his senses degraded, the flesh of his body subject to decay, his soul turbulent, his fortune difficult to predict, and his fame a question mark.  In a word, his body is like a rushing stream, his soul an insubstantial dream, life is a warfare, he is a stranger in a foreign land, and even after fame comes oblivion.

Marcus Aurelius
