More quotes by Marcus Manilius

We are always beginning to live, but are never living.

Man must be so weighed as though there were a God within him.

Experience is always sowing the seed of one thing after another.

No barriers, no masses of matter, however enormous, can withstand the powers of the mind. The remotest corners yield to them; all things succumb, the very heaven itself is laid open.

As we are born we die, and the end commences with the beginning.

the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
