Waxing philosophical this evening, came across some quotes from the ancient Greeks and Romans, some over 2,000 years old. They could have been penned for our generation...

~ Cicero

Written laws are like spider webs: they catch
it is true, the weak and poor, but would be torn
in pieces by the rich and powerful.
~ Anacharis

We are just statistics, born to consume resources.
~ Horace [ my favorite of late ]

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
~ Seneca

The good of the people is the chief law.
~ Cicero

Time the devourer of everything.
~ Ovid

Where there's life, there's hope
~ Terence

Lets hope there's a good life after PO.
Cheers.
