So discard all else and secure these few things only. Remind yourself too that each of us lives only in the present moment, a mere fragment of time: the rest is life past or uncertain future. Sure life is a small thing, and the small cranny of the earth in which we live it: small too, even the longest fame thereafter which is itself subject to a succession of little men who will quickly die, and have no knowledge even of themselves, let alone of those long dead.
