Aurelius: “A Man of Forty”
“Further, the rational soul traverses the whole universe and its surrounding void, explores the shape of it, stretches into the infinity of time, encompasses and comprehends the periodic regeneration of the Whole. It reflects that our successors will see nothing new, just as our predecessors saw nothing more then we do: such is the sameness of things, a man of forty with any understanding whatsoever has in a sense seen all the past and all of the future.”
~Marcus Aurelius
(Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (26 April 121 – 17 March 180))
Roman emperor from 161 to his death in 180.
