Waste no more..........................

16.  Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be.  Be one.


17.  Let your mind constantly dwell on all Time and all Being, and thus learn that each separate thing is but as a grain of sand in comparison with Being, and as a single screw's turn in comparison with Time.


18.  Realize the nature of all things material, observing how each of them is even now undergoing dissolution and change, and is already in process of decay, or dispersion, or whatever other natural fate may be in store for it.


-Marcus Aurelius,  Meditations,  Book X
