Meditations 9.14

All things are the same, familiar in experience, and ephemeral in time, and worthless in the matter. Everything now is just as it was in the time of those whom we have buried.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.14, translated by George Long

All these are things of familiar experience; in their duration ephemeral, in their material foul. Everything is now as it was in the days of those whom we have buried.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.14, translated by C. R. Haines
