9009 Marus Aurelius 121-180 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:9009
AUTHOR:Marcus Aurelius (121–180)
QUOTATION:Remember that man’s life lies all within this present, as ’t were but a hair’s-breadth of time; as for the rest, the past is gone, the future yet unseen. Short, therefore, is man’s life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells.
