“ What one has one ought to use and whatever he does he should do with all his might. ”
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?Cicero, Orator, 46 BCBy way of 'Dictator' by Robert Harris, 2015

To stumble twice against the same stone is a proverbial disgrace.
