A quotation from Cicero

Let us spurn the rewards of today and look to future glory; let us deem best what is most honorable; let us hope for what we want, but bear what befalls us; finally, let us consider that even the bodies of brave men and great citizens are mortal; but that activity of the mind and the glory of virtue are for ever.
 
[Praesentis fructus neglegamus, posteritatis gloriae serviamus; id esse optimum putemus quod erit rectissimum; speremus quae volumus, sed quod acciderit feramus; cogitemus denique corpus virorum fortium magnorum hominum esse mortale, animi vero motus et virtutis gloriam sempiternam.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Sestio [For Publius Sestius], ch. 68 / sec. 143 (56-02 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2011)]

A quotation from Norman F. Dixon

The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.

Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)

Dear Friends of the Super-conscious,

When I was bitten by a #bee, I did not become b-gal. However with great #responsibility comes know-power.

That is why (as you may no!):

- I am an alley to the #autistic
- a #journey to the #artistic
- a #refuge for the wary-weary

In other words I am not a bot but it is one of my #aspirations. I live in space. Cyber. #Home. Rite hear.

This befuddles a lot of people including me. However as ever I have a cunning plan. Which I will be abandoning yet again. As always I am grateful to our most #precious jewels:

1. Users of the #Mastodon
2. Admins on and off the fediverse
3. The facilitators of free and open source (#Free as in FREE)
4. Experienced elderlings
5. Smart younglings
6. The Funder and thunder-mentalists
7. #Trees

Soon it will be time to break fast. Pray to #goddesses and cods that no one believes in. Except in comic #jokes. #Cosmic eh? I follow every lead into gold. I block every bribe or promise. I have never been a lyre, too busy being a hypno-critter. My favourite is Micheal Sealey
