Ne ut qui millia annorum victurus sit; fatum impendet; dum vivis, dum licet, fac bonus fias. - Do not act as if thou wert going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over thee. While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good. (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations IV 17, translated into English by George Long, into Latin by J. M. Schultz)
