Marcus must have read all he could find. His tutor Lucius Volusius Maecianus was once governor of Egypt, when a "daughter library" of the Library of Alexander existed in the Serapeum of Alexandria.

 

 

It’s not always about the size of your library, sometimes it’s about what we can learn from life and understanding that true wealth is a measure of your harmony with the world, not how much you can take from it.

Scrabbling to take just enough from the world to secure ones future is no more noble than trying to take it all, as both are impossible.

 

Now is all one can be sure of, no scrabble required.

This thought may be very old, yet apropos.

Sorry for being away. I was busy.
