"In a word, thy life is short. Thou must turn to profit the present by the aid of reason and justice. Be sober in thy relaxation... pass through the rest of life like one who has intrusted to the gods with his whole soul all that he has, making thyself neither the tyrant nor the slave of any man."
-- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Part IV, Paragraphs 26 and 31
