Cicero: “For when appetite is our master, there is no place for self-control; nor where pleasure reigns supreme can virtue hold…”

Now, old age is as it were the playing out of the drama, the full fatigue of which we should shun, especially when we also feel that we have had more than enough of it.

For nature has given us a place of entertainment, not of residence.

Don't you think that the soul which has the clearer and longer sight sees that it is starting for better things, while the soul whose vision is dimmer does not see it?

For nature puts a limit to living as to everything else.
