Stoic Snippets 122


Through the Universal Substance as through a furious torrent all bodies are carried, being by their nature united with and cooperating with the whole, as the parts of our body with one another. 

How many a Chrysippus, how many a Socrates, how many an Epictetus has time already swallowed up! And let the same thought occur to you with reference to every man and thing. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.19
