Small Cities
ESPAÑOL: Excelente diálogo de Cicerón, que habla por boca de Catón el viejo. Veamos algunas de las citas más señeras para mÃ:
[La vejez.] Hasta que es alcanzada, todos la desean; y en llegando a ella, le echan la culpa de muchos achaques. ¡Tanta es la inconstancia y el desconcierto de la necedad humana! Dicen que se les entró en casa más pronto de lo que pensaban.
[El viejo] es de mejor condición que el mozo, porque lo que el mozo espera, ya el viejo lo consiguió. El joven anhela una larga vida, que el anciano ha vivido ya.
Porque cuando [el fin] llega, lo que ha pasado se fue como el humo; y sólo nos queda lo que hayamos logrado con la virtud y la práctica del bien.
Ennio [escribió]: "nadie me honre con llanto cuando yo muera..." Que no se debe llorar una muerte a la que sigue la inmortalidad.
Y si algún dios me ofreciese volver a la niñez... rehusarÃa decididamente: anduve ya casi mi camino y no quisiera volver al punto de donde partÃ.
Y si después de la muerte - como han sostenido filósofos insignificantes - nada sintiere, no temo que los filósofos que murieron se rÃan de mÃ.
ENGLISH: Excellent dialogue by Cicero, who speaks through the voice of Cato the Elder. Let us see a few of the best quotes (for me):
[Old age.] Until it is reached, everyone wants it; and in arriving at it, they blame it for many ailments. Such is the inconstancy and bewilderment of human folly! They say it came to them sooner than they thought.
[The old man] is in a better condition than the youth, because what the youth expects, the old man already has. The youth longs for a long life, which the old man has already lived.
When [the end] arrives, what has happened goes like smoke; and we only have left what we achieved with virtue and the practice of goodness.
Ennius [wrote]: "Let no one honor me with tears when I die..." One should not mourn a death followed by immortality.
And if some god offered me to return to childhood... I would resolutely refuse: I have almost finished my way and do not want to return to the starting point.
And if after death - as insignificant philosophers have argued - there is nothing, I have not fear that those dead philosophers will laugh at me.
