Life Phylosophy: Sow what you Reap.

Only men who make Zeno and Pythagoras and Democritus and the other high priests of liberal studies their daily family, who cultivate Aristotle and Theophrastus, can properly said to be engaged in the duties of life... It is a common saying that a man's parents are not of his own choosing but alloted to them by chance. But we can choose our own genealogy... Here are families with noble endowments: choose whichever you wish to belong to. Your adoption will give you not only the name but actually the property, and this you need not guard in a mean or niggardly spirit: the more people you share it with, the greater it will become. These will open the path to eternity for you and will raise you to a height from which none can be cast down. This is the sole means of prolonging your mortality, or rather, of transforming it into immortality.

Seneca.
