As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

  • -- Marcus Tullius Cicero 西塞罗

正如我赞同一个年轻人身上有一点老人的气质一样,我对一个老人身上有一点年轻人的气质也同样感到高兴。遵守这条规则的人,身体可能会变老,但思想永远不会变老。
