Thoughts for a rainy day

"Quickly bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever."

"Old men are children for a second time."

"A man's homeland is wherever he prospers."

"My family history begins with me, but yours ends with you."

"Educated men are as much superior to undeducated men as the living are to the dead."

"All men by nature desire knowledge."

"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
