| Back to my "philospohy"--I found something quite ironic the night after I had posted this article. I was studying for a Latin exam on the Aeneid and was doing some last-minute reviewing when I came across this:
[color=red]Stat sua cuique dies, breve et inreparabile tempus
omnibus est vitae: sed famam extendere factis,
hoc virtutis opus.
Aeneid, Book X Lines 467-469

It's translated: "And to each stands his own day, brief and irretrievable is the time of life for all: but to extend [one's] fame by deeds, this [is] the task of courage."
There you have it! Vergil himself supported my philosophy! |
