Don't remember if I ever shared this:
-----------------------
1. The illusion that personal gain is made
up of crushing others.
2. The tendency to worry about things that
cannot be changed or corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is impossible
because we cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial
preferences.
5. Neglecting development &
refinement of the mind & not acquiring the habit of reading & study.
6. Attempting to compel others to
believe and live as we do.
– Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C. - 43
B.C.)
[Roman statesman and man of letters, Cicero was Rome’s
greatest orator and it’s most articulate philosopher. The last years of
republican Rome are often referred to as the Age of Cicero.]
