Stoic Snippets 184


No longer let your breathing only act in concert with the air which surrounds you, but let your intelligence also now be in harmony with the Intelligence which embraces all things. 

For the Intelligent power is no less diffused in all parts and pervades all things for him who is willing to draw it to him, than the aerial power for him who is able to respire it. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.54
