Experience

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.

Every one is in a small way the image of God.

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.
