Meditations 7.10

Everything material soon disappears in the substance of the whole; and everything formal [causal] is very soon taken back into the universal reason; and the memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.10, translated by George Long

A little while and all that is material is lost to sight in the Substance of the Universe, a little while and all Cause is taken back into the Reason of the Universe, a little while and the remembrance of everything is encairned in Eternity.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.10, translated by C. R. Haines
