Book VI · 37

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.

He, who sees what now is, hath seen all that ever hath been from times everlasting, and that shall be to eternity; for all things are of one lineage and one likeness.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VI.37. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
