He who must needs have company, must needs have sometimes bad company.
Think not thy time short in this world, since the world itself is not long. The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity, and a short interposition, for a time, between such a state of duration as was before it and may be after it.
Nor do they speak properly who say that time consumeth all things; for time is not effective, nor are bodies destroyed by it.
