“People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.”

“And now my work is done, which neither the anger of
Jove, nor fire, nor sword, nor the gnawing tooth of time
shall ever be able to undo.... Wherever Rome’s power
extends over the conquered world, I shall have mention
on men’s lips.”
