Meditations

9.37

Marcus Aurelius

translated by George Long

37Enough of this wretched life and murmuring and apish tricks. Why art thou disturbed? What is there new in this? What unsettles thee? Is it the form of the thing? Look at it. Or is it the matter? Look at it. But besides these there is nothing. Towards the gods then now become at last more simple and better. It is the same whether we look at these things for a hundred years or three.
