Quote of the day

"Balbus has assured me that you are going to be a rich man. Whether he uses the word in plain Roman style, meaning that you will have plenty of cash, or after the manner of the Stoics when they say that all are rich who can enjoy the sky and the earth, remains to be seen."

-- Roman politician Marcus T. Cicero, letter to Trebatius, late November, 54 B.C.
