Description
"Haec studia adolescentiam alunt, senectutem oblectant, secundas res ornant, adversis solatium et perfungiam praebent, delectant domi, non impediunt foris, pernoctant nobiscum, peregrinantur, rusticantur." Cicero, Arch. 7
"These studies sustain youth and entertain old age, they enhance prosperity, and offer a refuge and solace in adversity, they delight us when we are at home without hindering us in the wider world, and are with us at night, when we travel and when we visit the countryside."
"These studies sustain youth and entertain old age, they enhance prosperity, and offer a refuge and solace in adversity, they delight us when we are at home without hindering us in the wider world, and are with us at night, when we travel and when we visit the countryside."
