Always observe how ephemeral and worthless human things are. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew.
~ Marcus Aurelius
- - - - -If I end my journey falling out of an olive tree, I hope they put this on my headstone. If I end it falling out of an apple tree I hope they put, "An apple a day - AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" on my headstone.
