...stoic quotes...

“Of all people only those are at leisure who make time for philosophy, only they truly live. Not satisfied to merely keep good watch over their own days, they annex every age to their own. All the harvest of the past is added to their store. Only an ingrate would fail to see that these great architects of venerable thoughts were born for us and have designed a way of life for us.”
— SENECA

Good morning!

Reading your quote triggered the thought of another, one I knew was somewhere in my cyber notebook. At last I found it:-

[i]those who enriched our lives with the newfound arts they forged
and those we remember well for the good they did mankind[/i]

(Virgil, lines from "Aeneid")
