Marcus Aurelius

Meditations 12.35

Translation

The man to whom that only is good which comes in due season, and to whom it is the same thing whether he has done more or fewer acts conformable to right reason, and to whom it makes no difference whether he contemplates the world for a longer or a shorter time—for this man neither is death a terrible thing.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 12.35, translated by George Long
