It is not the young man who should be considered fortunate but the old man who has lived well, because the young man in his prime wanders much by chance, vacillating in his beliefs, while the old man has docked in the harbor, having safeguarded his true happiness.
EpicurusDo not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
