"Of man's life, his time is a point, his existence a flux, his sensation clouded, his body's entire composition curruptible, his vital spirit an eddy of breath, his fortune hard to predict, his fame uncertain. Briefly, all the things of the body, a river; all the things of the spirit, dream and delirium; his life a warfare and a sojourn in a strange land, his after-fame oblivion. What then can be his escort through life? One thing and one thing only, Philosophy." - Marcus Aurelius' Meditations
