book one: stanza 6:
It would be madness and inconsistancy to suppose that things
that have not yet been performed can be performed
without employing some hitherto untried means.

Sir Francis Bacon 1561-1626

05/04: marcus aurelius antoninus

the meditations: book 8. stanza 23.

the universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now moulds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else; and each of these things subsists for a very short time. But it is no hardship for the vessel to be broken up, just as there was none in its being fastened together.

30/03: the meditations of marcus aurelius antoninus

book 7 stanza 29

wipe out the imagination. stop the pulling of the strings. understand well what happens to either thee or to another. divide and distribute every object into the causal and the material. think of thy last hour. let the wrong which is done by a man stay there where the wrong was done.

live the life that you actually have, not the life you imagine you have.

marcus aurelius: emperor of rome 161-180 AD:
