Meditations · Book VI
Meditations, VI, 37
Chapter 37 of Book VI of the Meditations. First the passage as Stoïque shows it, after Long, 1862; then the whole chapter, word for word, in that edition, and the same chapter in French.
The passage in the app
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one form.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, VI, 37
After Long, 1862 — modernized.
On the widgets
Not every widget family holds a passage this long. The app never cuts one: where it does not fit, a shorter passage takes its place, with its reference. The circular widget carries the locator alone.
The whole chapter in Long’s 1862 edition
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one form.

In French
Voir le présent, c’est avoir tout vu, et ce qui est arrivé de toute éternité, et ce qui arrivera jusqu’à l’infini ; toutes choses ont même origine et sont pareilles.

Celui qui a vu le temps où il vit a tout vu, et tout ce qui a été dans toute l’éternité, et tout ce qui sera dans un avenir également infini ; car tout en général se ressemble, et tout est uniforme.
