“ To stumble twice against the same stone is a proverbial disgrace. ”
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
~ Cicero
Old age is by nature rather talkative.
Old age especially an honoured old age has so great authority that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
What one has one ought to use and whatever he does he should do with all his might.
