Sallust on Life
← Back to Sallust Profile
βVita ipsa qua fruimur brevis est.
The very life which we enjoy is short.β
βIgnavia nemo immortalis factus: neque quisquam parens liberis, uti Γ¦terni forent, optavit; magis, uti boni honestique vitam exigerent.
No one has become immortal by sloth; nor has any parent prayed that his children should live forever; but rather that they should lead an honorable and upright life.β
