Enjoy the blessing of strength while you have it and do not bewail it when it is gone, unless, forsooth, you believe that youth must lament the loss of infancy, or early manhood the passing of youth. Life's race-course is fixed; Nature has only a single path and that path is run but once, and to each stage of existence has been allotted its own appropriate quality; so that the weakness of childhood, the impetuosity of youth, the seriousness of middle life, the maturity of old age.. each bears some of Nature's fruit, which must be garnered in its own season.
Marcus Tullius CiceroCrimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.
Marcus Tullius CiceroLaw is the highest reason implanted in Nature, which commands what ought to be done and forbids the opposite.
Marcus Tullius CiceroA dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
