Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
Marcus Aurelius
