On the Shortness of Life: Stoic Principles for Self-Improvement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539345213)

Life is divided into three periods-that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present time is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain. For the last is the one over which Fortune has lost control, is the one which cannot be brought back under any man's power. But men who are engrossed lose this; for they have no time to look back upon the past, and even if they should have, it is not pleasant to recall something they must view with regret.
