Quote Marcus Aurelius tentang kematian
Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left, and live it properly.
Stop whatever you’re doing for a moment and ask yourself: ‘Am I afraid of death because I won’t be able to do this anymore?’
Brief is man’s life and small the nook of the Earth where he lives; brief, too, is the longest posthumous fame, buoyed only by a succession of poor human beings who will very soon die and who know little of themselves, much less of someone who died long ago.
About death: Whether it is a dispersion, or a resolution into atoms, or annihilation, it is either extinction or change.
Let each thing you would do, say, or intend, be like that of a dying person.
Remember: Matter. How tiny your share of it. Time. How brief and fleeting your allotment of it. Fate. How small a role you play in it.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
What we do now echoes in eternity.
The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.
But death and life, honor and dishonor, pain and pleasure — all these things, equally happen to good men and bad, being things which make us neither better nor worse. Therefore they are neither good nor evil.
