Avere te certo scio cum scire quid hic agatur tum ea a me scire, non quo certiora sint ea quae in oculis omnium geruntur si a me scribuntur quam cum ab aliis aut scribuntur tibi aut nuntiantur, sed velim perspicias ex meis litteris quo animo ea feram quae geruntur et qui sit hoc tempore aut mentis meae sensus aut omnino vitae status. —Cicero, Ad Atticum 4.3.1
If what doesn't kill us is makin' us stronger, We're gonna last longer Than that greatest wall in China Or that rabbit with the drum If there's one thing that I've learned While waitin' for my turn It's that in each life some rain falls But you also get some sun And we'll make out better than okay, hear what I say, any day...
