"It is our duty, my young friends,..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Laws are silent in time of war.”

“A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.”

“For my own part, I had rather be old only a short time than be old before I really am so.”

“I don't know how you feel about old age... but in my case I didn't even see it coming. It hit me from the rear.”

“Old men delight in giving good advice as a consolation for the fact that they can no longer set bad examples.”

“The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured.”

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when lifeseems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.”

“In all that you are living... As the problem flickers, the solution flickers too.”

“Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.”
