Marcus Tullius Cicero Quotes

Breaks balance out. The sun don't shine on the same ol' dog's rear end every day.

Pleasure is none, if not diversified.

Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.

At its best, life is completely unpredictable.

Variety is the soul of pleasure.

It's fun for me to try to write concise, compact things. It's a very good exercise for me. And I think it's important to try to do different things - change what I write about, and also the way I write. Otherwise, I'd just be repeating myself, which wouldn't be good for me or fair to my readers.

In human life there is constant change of fortune; and it is unreasonable to expect an exemption from the common fate. Life itself decays, and all things are daily changing.

But if you know that you are a man too, and that even such are those that rule, learn this first of all: that all human affairs are a wheel which, as it turns, does not allow the same men always to be fortunate.
