一保利努斯啊，很多人都抱怨大自然吝啬，因为她赋予我们的生命太过短暂。时间总是飞驰而过， 大多数人还没有准备好去拥抱它，生命就已经走到了尽头。于是，他们把时间的流逝视为世间 的罪恶——并非只有凡夫俗子和不爱思考的芸芸众生才有这种不满，即便是功成名就的杰出人士，也会为此抱怨。因此，伟大的医学之父会说：“人生苦短，艺术不朽。”连亚里士多德这样的智者，都不顾身份地表达过对时间流逝的不满。在亚里士多德看来，自然赋予了动物 长的生命，让它们拥有五倍甚至十倍于人类的寿命；与此同时，肩负着 神圣、 广阔使命的人类，生命却短暂很多，这是不公平的。然而事实是，生命并非短暂，而是我们荒废了太多，如能善加利用，人就有足够多的时间创造丰功伟绩。但是，如果将时间浪费在漫不经心的奢靡和毫无意义的活动上，那么，恐怕只有在死亡降临时，我们才会意识到它早已在不经意间溜走了。因此，生命并非短暂，而是我们把它变得短暂；自然并非吝啬，而是我们浪费了太多。这就好像落入败家子手中的巨额财富，可以被顷刻之间挥霍殆尽。但如果托付给理性的管理者，即便只是微薄的资产，也一定会逐渐增长。生命也同理，管理得当，就会得到充分的延长。

当然，试图消灭悲伤的来源是毫无意义的，因为有时我们就是会对整个人类产生深深的厌恶。想到单纯的稀缺和天真的渺茫，想到忠诚只会在符合自身利益时才出现，想到无数罪行得以横行，想到人们无论是得到还是失去，动机却都是贪欲，想到很多人从不收敛野心，甚至认为邪恶是一件值得骄傲的事——所有这些，都会让心灵陷入黑暗。当一切被阴影笼罩，美德便不复存在。你会觉得，美德期待不来，即使拥有也毫无用处。

因此，我们必须要训练自己，将这些普遍存在的恶习视为不值得我们去恨、荒谬可笑的事情。我们应该学习德谟克利特，而非赫拉克利特。每当这两位出现在公众场合，后者总是在哭，前者却总是在笑。后者总是认为人类所有的活动都是可悲的，而前者则觉得它们只是可笑。我们不要将凡事看得太重，用一颗包容之心去忍受：比起为生活哀叹，对其嘲笑更符合文明的发展。要记住，能够对生活报以一笑的人，往往要比那些用悲观的眼光打量它的人更优秀，因为前者依然认为生活存在希望，而后者之所以悲伤，是因为他们压根不觉得有办法改变现状。总而言之，无论从哪个角度看，不吝惜自己的微笑，都要比放纵自己哭泣，更能体现一个人杰出的心灵。

It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested.

So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it. Just as when ample and princely wealth falls to a bad owner it is squandered in a moment, but wealth however modest, if entrusted to a good custodian, increases with use, so our lifetime extends amply if you manage it properly.

Life is long if you know how to use it.

'It is a small part of life we really live.' Indeed, all the rest is not life but merely time.

You are living as if destined to live for ever; your own frailty never occurs to you; you don't notice how much time has already passed, but squander it as though you had a full and overflowing supply - though all the while that very day which you are devoting to somebody or something may be your last.

You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.

How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end!

There are many instructors in the other arts to be found everywhere: indeed, some of these arts mere boys have grasped so thoroughly that they can even teach them. But learning how to live takes a whole life, and, which may surprise you more, it takes a whole life to learn how to die.

But the man who spends all his time on his own needs, who organizes every day as though it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the next day. For what new pleasures can any hour now bring him? He has tried everything, and enjoyed everything to repletion.

Nothing can be taken from this life, and you can only add to it as if giving to a man who is already full and satisfied food which he does not want but can hold.

So you must not think a man has lived long because he has white hair and wrinkles: he has not lived long, just existed long. For suppose you should think that a man had had a long voyage who had been caught in a raging storm as he left harbour, and carried hither and thither and driven round and round in a circle by the rage of opposing winds? He did not have a long voyage...

Life will follow the path it began to take, and will neither reverse nor check its course.

They direct their purposes with an eye to a distant future. But putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours.

The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.

So you must match time's swiftness with your speed in using it.

Just as travellers are beguiled by conversation or reading or some profound meditation, and find they have arrived at their destination before they knew they were approaching it; so it is with this unceasing...
