OUTWARD pomp and appearance, is a great juggler; and then especially art thou most in danger to be beguiled by it, when (to a man's thinking) thou most seemest to be employed about matters of moment.
MARCUS AURELIUS. MEDITATIONS. Book vi. 4.
PUBLIC shows and solemnities with much pomp and vanity, stage plays, flocks and herds; conflicts and contentions: a bone thrown to a company of hungry curs; a bait for greedy fishes; the painfulness, and continual burden-bearing of wretched ants, the running to and fro of terrified mice: little puppets drawn up and down with wires and nerves: these be the objects of the World.
MARCUS AURELIUS. MEDITATIONS. Book vii. 3.
Public shows, scandals, outward fashion and appearance, these are the great distractors; and we are most in danger of being beguiled by them when they seem to be matters of great importance. Life is squandered in luxury and carelessness when it is devoted to no good end, and when faced with death we see that it has passed away before we were aware that it was passing. - Lessons from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca
