Stoic Snippets 131


About fame: look at the minds of those who seek fame, observe what they are, and what kind of things they avoid, and what kind of things they pursue. 

And consider that as the heaps of sand piled on one another hide the former sands, so in life the events which go before are soon covered by those which come after. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.34
