"Concentrate every minute like a Roman - like a man - on doing \
what's in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, \
tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from \
all other distractions. Yes, you can - if you do everything as if \
it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop \
being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind \
tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable. You \
see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and \
reverent life? If you can manage this, that's all even the gods \
can ask of you."

this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible \
to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth \
in which we live it. Small as even the greatest renown, passed from \

themselves and those long dead."

right now."
