The things valued in life are empty,rotten and trivial
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations - 5.33
World is a Stage
Empty pursuit of ceremony
Plays on the stage
Men with flock of sheep or in Herds
fighting with spears
a bone thrown to little dogs
a crumb into the fish ponds
hard-labors of burden-bearing ants
scurrying of panicky little mice
Tiny puppets moved by strings
Among all these
you must take your place
with good humor and without being haughty
All the World is a stage!
